Have you noticed any problems on the board you are testing on?
I've added the patchset + pre-requisited + the following into my board DT
for Milk-V Duo Module 01 EVB:

&mdio {
       status = "okay";
};

&gmac0 {
       phy-mode = "internal";
       phy-handle = <&internal_ephy>;
       status = "okay";
};

And the PHY is being detected and the Ethernet controller is being instantiated,
but the PHY behaves really strange: LEDs blinking wildly, link status is bogus
100FULL UP even without cable insterted and the real traffic starts to travel
only roughly a minute after the cable has been plugged in.

I could look into it, if Sophgo has documented the internal PHY, just wanted to
sync with you for the case you've seen this already...
