This means you have both the interfaces with MAC-to-MAC interface.

Can you try below options and see what happens * Instead of setting the mac address using *ip link set address*, try to use u-boot env variable (ethaddr/ath1addr) to set the mac address. * You must be storing the MAC address in EEPROM or somewhere, just try to implement the mac address reading mechanism in drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw-common.c file to avoid setting of mac address from userspace.
