sorry, my fault...
I forgot about the internal pullup and did not read carefully
that U-Boot correctly identified the PHY at address 1.

So, both PHYs are strapped to address 0x01.

My concern was, if there is any problem arising from two PHYs
sharing the same address while being accessed through
different physical interfaces. E.g., it seems I can only access
one of the PHYs via the "mii" commands - I am not sure if
this is a limitation originating from the identical addresses, or
some other problem with my setup.

Thanks for pointing out that mistake!

Regards,
Wolfgang
