This is official IP in IP catalog and there is no way to update current
version.

ok.

There was one attempt in past to support multiple phys on gem. I created
one patch in past to support case where you have all 4 gems on zynqmp
enabled and because there is only single MDIO line coming directy out of
PS they have to share it.
This works fine in Linux but it doesn't work with current u-boot
infrastructure.

It is not a problem to describe it. In Linux is already handled properly
but not in u-boot.

If you have time definitely please try it. Normally if you have multiple
ethernet controllers you don't want to use all of them for booting. You
choose one with attached phy and all is good.

yep.

This should work in the same way with other ethernet controllers. I
haven't tried that myself but I can't see an issue if you connect this
with others ethernet controllers. You point to bridge and bridge points
to phy in the same way.
