After upgrading to the new kernel I setup a script to constantly soft reboot a revision B beaglebone black and have not seen the ethernet lockup once after some 800 consecutive reboots. With the old kernel I did see the ethernet lockup after soft reboots on the same board.
I did however see the *libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found* message on rebooting many times. When you say you see the "PHY problem repeatedly" do you mean you see the error messages on boot or have you actually seen the ethernet fail?
