Maybe there's an easy solution to this - check whether the PHY being
fixed up is connected to the iMX6 SoC:

static bool phy_connected_to(struct phy_device *phydev,
			     const struct of_device_id *matches)
{
	struct device_node *np, *phy_np;

	for_each_matching_node(np, matches) {
		phy_np = of_parse_phandle(np, "phy-handle", 0);
		if (!phy_np)
			phy_np = of_parse_phandle(np, "phy", 0);
		if (!phy_np)
			phy_np = of_parse_phandle(np, "phy-device", 0);
		if (phy_np && phydev->mdio.dev.of_node == phy_np) {
			of_node_put(phy_np);
			of_node_put(np);
			return true;
		}
		of_node_put(phy_np);
	}
	return false;
}

static struct of_device_id imx_fec_ids[] = {
	{ .compatible = "fsl,imx6q-fec", },
	...
	{ },
};

static bool phy_connected_to_fec(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
	return phy_connected_to(phydev, imx_fec_ids);
}

and then in the fixups:

	if (!phy_connected_to_fec(phydev))
		return 0;

?
