This issue is known and has led to

of_get_reproducible_name()/of_find_node_by_reproducible_name() is used for
fixing up mtd partitions and state nodes, but not yet for the ethernet
devices because nobody noticed.

To fix you would have to get a reproducible name of the ethernet device
node from the barebox device tree using of_find_node_by_reproducible_name()
and then use of_find_node_by_reproducible_name() on the kernel device
tree.
