We do enable phylib for gmac based systems, we have CONFIG_ETH_DESIGNWARE=y
in defconfigs using GMAC and drivers/net/Kconfig has:

config ETH_DESIGNWARE
         bool "Synopsys Designware Ethernet MAC"
         select PHYLIB

We do however only enable the generic (vendor neutral phy) phylib support
and not any vendor specific drivers, I've a commit in my tree enabling
realtek phy support.

https://github.com/jwrdegoede/u-boot-sunxi/commit/8121866aa55b010d31fe75c1eb5d2372c1e27a62

So it looks like a) is already covered :)
