The current way to find if the phy is internal is to compare DT phy-mode and emac_variant/internal_phy. But it will negate a possible future SoC where an external PHY use the same phy mode than the internal one. By using phy-mode = "internal" we permit to have an external PHY with the same mode than the internal one. Reported-by: Andr?

Sorry could you wait for applying, there are a parallel thread (http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg183520.html) and it seems finaly that internal could not be the good way to do it. Regards Sorry again, I should have sent a comment for waiting.
