Probably this one[1] broke, according to Alexandre’s commit[2].
And it was since Nov 16 2015. But it was hidden by some other commits.

For Roger problem became visible after 3c293f4e08b5 ("net: phy:
Trigger state machine on state change and not polling.»),

For my problem became visible after 529ed1275263 ("net: phy: phy drivers
should not set SUPPORTED_[Asym_]Pause»). As commit 529ed1275263 
removed SUPPORTED_Pause flag from PHY advertising property and
genphy_config_aneg() began to skip PHY auto-negotiation.

Alexander.
