Forget my other message, using 0x1040 lead to success.
My problem was that I tried rgmii-id which net/ethernet/cortina does not support on some code path. (everything test PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII only)
So I retry tests with original phy-mode = "rgmii".

So with the following changes everything is ok:
