I assume you are mentioning commit 368b4d2b49bb (drivers: net: remove dead drivers).

I have no idea if the latest U-Boot code has an alternative PHY driver.

I am not willing to send the patch because I have no interest
in re-adding drivers I am not using.

If necessary for you, please feel free to send a patch to get it back.
(Please make sure there exists at least one board enabling the driver.
This is not my way, but the community's way.)



Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada
