One other question, how much speadup do you get with async probe of
PHYs? Is it really worth the effort?

For me it's a reduction of ~170ms, which currently accounts for roughly the 25%
of the time spent before starting userspace (660ms vs 490ms, give or take a
couple of milliseconds). That's due to the large reset time required by the PHYs
to initialize

170ms seems like a long time for a reset. Maybe check the datasheet
and see what it says.
