In linux both are identical, phy-mode is used more often, though. Also for the ls1028a both phy-connection-type and phy-mode was used, one for the enetc nodes and the other for the switch nodes. Unify them. But the main reason for this is that the device tree files can be shared with the u-boot ones; there the enetc driver only supports the "phy-mode" property.

Actually that is not really a valid reason in itself for this change. The enetc U-Boot driver is perhaps a bit silly in that it calls ofnode_read_string(dev_ofnode(dev), "phy-mode") manually, especially since right below, it uses dm_eth_phy_connect() which searches for both. So we are artificially restricting what we support. It would be fine to do the dm_eth_phy_connect first, then use phy->interface for enetc_start_pcs(). Anyway, I do not mind the patch at all.
