So above DT fix for ARC went into 4.6-rc1 and ethernet was still broken on axs103
board.

---------->8-------------
libphy: PHY stmmac-0:ffffffff not found
eth0: Could not attach to PHY
stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19)
---------->8-------------

On 4.6-rc2 if I revert the DT change, ethernet works again.

@Giuseppe, @Phil, @Gabriel, I see you have made changes in that area. I presume
that above revert is the right/sufficient thing or do we need to do something else
as well.

TIA,
