Yes, Port 0 and Port 1 have seperate MFIO bus addresses, but only Port 0
has a proper phy_id (== PHY_ID_TJA1102), while Port 1 just has 0.

Currently we register Port 1 via the device tree compatible
"ethernet-phy-id0180.dc81".

But we "force" it via the DT compatible. Another option would be to make
up a phyid for Port 1 and hope that it doesn't collide with a real phy
id in other or upcoming chips. But that sounds not like a clean solution
either.
