Actually that is not really a valid reason in itself for this change.
The enetc U-Boot driver is perhaps a bit silly in that it calls
ofnode_read_string(dev_ofnode(dev), "phy-mode") manually, especially
since right below, it uses dm_eth_phy_connect() which searches for both.

So we are artificially restricting what we support. It would be fine to
do the dm_eth_phy_connect first, then use phy->interface for enetc_start_pcs().

Anyway, I do not mind the patch at all.
