After cherry-picking ecee9324d73555e744593f3e0d387bec4c566f55 in my v2010.3 
based tree and removing eth_init in reset_phy there is no boot delay due to 
resetting the phy which is done in *_macb_hw_init.
Also the MAC address is programmed into hardware and doesn't need to be set by 
ifconfig eth0 hw ether ${MAC}
One side note, but this shouldn't matter at all: I tested this on my own 
board, not on of the boards with in-tree support in u-boot

Tested-by: Alexander Stein <alexander.stein at systec-electronic.com>

Best regards
Alexander
