Our old way of binding the controller and the phy using device name started creating problems after the devices are created using PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO. Infact non-dt boot is broken in mainline for OMAP3 platforms for which I have posted a RFC series http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,708632 which also uses strings. I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this.
Thanks Kishon
