So far I found the following:

After adding traces, it seems that genphy_update_link() polls the correct 
device, with the correct address (0x03), but although a physical link is 
present in ENET5, the polling is not successful until there is a link in ENET1 
(address 0x02)!

genphy_update_link: Dev: Micrel KS8041 ADD: 3 Status read 0x7849  (without 
ENET1 Link)
genphy_update_link: Dev: Micrel KS8041 ADD: 3 Status read 0x786D  (with    
ENET1 Link)

How does the MDIO of ENET1 affect the management of the physical interface in a 
different HW address?
