Humm, not so sure about that. That check for an OF node has always
been there, since day one for this driver.

What has changed recently is where it looks for these device tree
properties. It used to wrongly look in the MAC node. It was changed to
look in the PHY node. So this is probably the reason you are having
problems.

Having said that, your patch looks O.K.
