A few comments on this...

include/uapi/linux/mii.h:

#define BMCR_SPEED1000          0x0040  /* MSB of Speed (1000)         */
#define BMCR_ANENABLE           0x1000  /* Enable auto negotiation     */
#define BMCR_SPEED100           0x2000  /* Select 100Mbps              */
#define BMCR_RESET              0x8000  /* Reset to default state      */

Look familiar? Maybe use the standard definitions for a standardised
register?

What if the PCS never clears its reset bit? Maybe use
read_poll_timeout() ?

Also, maybe it's time to require new stmmac platform support to start
making use of the phylink PCS support rather than continuing to code its
own?

I notice, however, that you always disable inband signalling - please
explain why. Also, what protocol does the PCS use when communicating
with the PHY?

FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
