tl;dr: I think what is missing is:

		fixed-link {
			speed = <100>;
			full-duplex;
		};

eth0 is the FEC port, right?

Ok. The WARN_ON() is saying that the DSA user port's phy_start() found
the attached PHY already in the RUNNING state. As if there was already
someone else driving it.

That "someone else" seems to be the FEC driver from the log above, which
for some reason has connected to the DP83849I by itself, and phylink/phylib
hasn't denied the second attempt to connect to the same PHY for some
reason.

If you look at fec_enet_mii_probe(), I see it has 2 code paths, one for
when fep->phy_node (defined as the "phy-handle" reference) is non-NULL,
and one for when it is NULL. What you're missing is a fixed-link
specifier in the device tree for FEC, otherwise it tries to call
phy_connect() to some random MDIO address on the bus and that breaks
things in some way which I don't understand.

The code which should have prevented this from happening is in
phy_attach_direct():

	if (phydev->attached_dev) {
		dev_err(&dev->dev, "PHY already attached\n");
		err = -EBUSY;
		goto error;
	}
