DT field name for the phy address changed since kernel 3.10. Set the
snps,phy-addr to 0xffffffff so that the driver probes for the phy.

Don't you think it should be st,phy-addr =<0xffffffff>, as the
manufacturer is 'st' as the compatible suggest

Hi Rajeev Kumar,

According to the Documentation, it guides to use 'snps' prefix.

In my humble opinion,
'gmac' is a Synopsys based IP. Thus, if 'snps,phy-addr' is
not ST specific, 'snps' prefix can be used.

Very much true, I raise the point just becuase compatible =
"st,spear600-gmac". Check the manufacturer name here.
As documented, "st,spear600-gmac" is there for backwards
compatibility. It should really be updated to
'"snps,dwmac-<version>", "snps,dwmac"'.

- snps,phy-addr         phy address to connect to.
About the "snps,phy-addr" property, Florian recently raised
the issue that this is !standard. I am currently implementing
proper DT ethernet phy node support for stmmac. Just a
heads up. :)
