This is already done in the Lamobo R1 DTS file so it would be nice not
to break this use case:

&gmac {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&gmac_pins_rgmii_a>;
        phy-mode = "rgmii";
        phy-supply = <&reg_gmac_3v3>;
        status = "okay";

        fixed-link {
                speed = <1000>;
                full-duplex;
        };

        mdio {
                compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <0>;

                switch: ethernet-switch@1e {
                        compatible = "brcm,bcm53125";
                        reg = <30>;
                        #address-cells = <1>;
                        #size-cells = <0>;
