I added the ethernet parameter referencing to gem0. Still cant detect the internal phys and I get kernel panic:
mdio_bus e000b000.ethernet-ffffffff: /amba/ethernet@e000b000/fixed-link has invalid PHY address

I think this is a problem with the macb driver. To me, it looks like
you are going to have to make some changes to the driver to make this
work. Normally the MDIO bus children are placed within a container
node, often called 'mdio-bus' or simply 'mdio'. See for example
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fsl-fec.txt.  The macb driver
does not do this. It passed the main DT node of the device to
of_mdiobus_register(). It then walks all the children assuming they
devices on the MDIO bus. But the first child it finds is the
'fixed-link'. This is not supposed to be a child of the bus, which is
why it goes wrong.

Please include the fill panic details. The stack trace can be very
useful.
