Now, I'm seeing these boot messages:

f0010d40:00 not found
eth0: Could not attach to PHY
IP-Config: Failed to open eth0
IP-Config: Device `eth0' not found.

Previous mailing list discussions suggest that I use the correct PHY,
which I am sure about because my 8272-based board only has the one PHY
ie. PHY0 with reg = <0x0>.

Note the relevant parts of my Device Tree below. Currently, our PHY
attributes eg. 'auto-negotiate' are not changeable, so we aren't
actually using MDC+MDIO even the MDC+MDIO lines exist.

Your device tree is telling the kernel that you *are* using those lines.  If
they're not connected the way the device tree describes them as being
connected, you'll have to replace it with something that accurately
describes your hardware.

Also, the PHY interrupt line is not wired up. Hence the PHY0 interrupts
field is <0 8> (or should it be removed altogether?).

If your PHY interrupt is not connected, then you must remove the
"interrupts" property altogether.  "0" is a potentially valid interrupt
number.
