Not directly related to this patch, but this context is wrong.  The
PP2 driver _requires_ a PHY.  It doesn't support fixed-link in its
current form.  I think the DT binding describes an expectation of
a future driver.

The side effect is that if trying to use a fixed-link on any port,
the ethernet driver fails to probe.
Correct. I will send a patch to adjust the Device Tree binding
documentation accordingly. Thanks for noticing this mistake!
