Thanks for looking into this!

Probably just adding phy-gmii-sel to
installer/modules/armhf-armmp/nic-modules or
installer/modules/armhf-armmp/kernel-image in the linux kernel package:

  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux

Building the kernel package can definitely be very time consuming and a
little unusual as packages go, but you should be able to cross-build it
on an amd64 machine...

Sounds like you'll also want to get this added into bullseye's kernel,
though normally the process is to first get it fixed in unstable, and
then backport the fix to stable.

Getting your custom kernel into a custom-built installer image is a
little trickier...
