Thank you! I have tested your patches both in U-Boot and Linux and they work
perfectly.

Yes, as you suspected this is exactly what happened: providing a fix in U-Boot
caused everything to work again in Linux. It would appear as though Linux is
expecting the PHY to be reset/setup/configured by the bootloader in the case
of this board/SoC/PHY.
