Not sure what you are asking here.

My patches don't provide support for programming the persistent
storage attached to the aquantia phy on NXP's development boards.

To program the firmware, put the AQR-G3_v4.2.C-AQR.cld file in a
directory on a partition that uboot can read.  Then set
PHY_AQUANTIA_FW_PART to the parition code (for example "0:2")  and
PHY_AQUANTIA_FW_NAME to the full path to the firmware file (for
example "/boot/AQR-G3_v4.2.C-AQR.cld")

If you #define DEBUG in aquantia.c, you should get some output as the
code loads the file and verifies checksums.

Firmware programming should happen automatically when the phy is configured.

Does that help?
