ethernet cable was plugged before the ethernet interface was brought up.
Also, my spell checker trips on "ethernet", perhaps should be capitalized?
The PHY state machine seems to be stuck from RUNNING to AN state
with no new interrupts from the PHY. So it doesn't know when the
PHY Auto-negotiation has been completed and doesn't transition to RUNNING
state with ANEG done thus netif_carrier_on() is never called.
NOTE: genphy_config_aneg() will not restart PHY Auto-negotiation of
advertisement parameters didn't change.
Fix this by scheduling the PHY state machine in phy_start_aneg().
