As far as i can see, there is nothing here which limits you to
genphy. The hardware could use any PHY driver which phylib has. In
general, we don't recommend genphy, it is just a fallback driver which
might work, but given the complexity of modern PHYs, also might not.

What PHY do you actually have on the board?
