This looks completely wrong to me. These PHYs can be configured to change their MAC-facing interface mode according to the media negotiated speed, but you are only checking that _if_ the media is up, then the interface that has resulted from that negotiation matches what is in DTS. That could be dependent on the link partner, so what works for a platform when connected to one link partner may issue your "info"-level warning when connected to a different link partner.
So no, this to me looks completely wrong.
You need to check the VEND1_GLOBAL_CFG_* registers, and determine from those what interface mode(s) will be used, and then use that to validate the mode.
It just so happens that...

builds a bitmap that can then be tested to check this. Whether the above is entirely correct or not, I can't really say, I don't have enough information on this PHY.
