Yes, it is exactly the case. The problem is after adding dummy address
e.g. ethernet-phy@0 in dove.dtsi 'make dtbs_check' shows warnings
about missing required 'reg' property, that's why ethernet-phy is
moved to .dts files.

This patch exactly fixes this issue by setting proper
ethernet-phy@<reg value> in board files.
In such a case would you like me to update the commit message to
better describe the change or do you have other remarks to the diff?

Best regards,
