There's in-tree support for the BCM5461 and BCM5464 in 
drivers/net/tsec.c (which is the gianfar driver), and support for the 
BMC5481 on the UEC driver (drivers/qe/uec.c).  Between the two you 
should be able to get this working pretty easily.  There's slow ongoing 
work on unifying the PHY drivers, but it's not there yet.

regards,
Ben
