After looking once more at the history I've found that this problem was 
actually fixed by

     MPC5XXX, Motion-PRO: Fix PHY initialization problem.

which uses RESET_PHY_R feature to fix PHY initialization late in the 
boot process.
But with drivers that initialize PHYs not during boot process but on the 
first access (I believe mpc5xxx_fec is not the only example) this 
RESET_PHY_R feature is completely broken. What would be the correct way 
to fix this? Should we add reset_phy() call in every driver that uses 
'lazy' PHY initialization?

Regards, Ilya.
