If you don't want to use the labels, it's probably better to drop from
the dtsi files. I think you can also write 

ahb/apb/ethernet@802c000 {
	phy-mode = "rmii";
        status = "okay";
};

although I think most people prefer the labels, and I have not tried
the above.

Back to the bug fix, I think we can have a simpler version for 3.9
if you just mark the ethernet node as "disabled" in the 
at91sam9g15.dtsi file, and then do the patch to change the default
in an add-on patch for 3.10.
