There are couple of issues with this implementation.

1) da8xx_config_emac() is specific to DA850 EVM, but masquerades as
   generic for da8xx. Looks like you need two functions, one for soc
   specific configuration and one board specific.
2) da8xx_config_emac() goes through all the time, whether the
   particular board has emac module or not. Shouldn't
   da8xx_config_emac() check if emac is actually enabled in the passed
   dtb and only the do the configuration?
3) The function assumes mii is used always, you can use the rmii_en dt
   property to check if rmii/mii is enabled and configure the soc/board
   accordingly.
4) If the same function can work both for da850 and da830, then it can
   be implemented outside of CONFIG_ARCH_DAVINCI_DA850.
Another thing I forgot to mention:

5) This patch replicates a lot of code form board-da850-evm.c. This
needs to be avoided. May be create function to configure emac in
da850.c. This can then be called in board-da850-evm.c as well as in the
dt case.

Thanks,
Sekhar
