HW recommendation upon Serdes reconfiguration are the following:

1. Disable port(CTRL0_REG - in XLG/GMAC) 
2. Put port in reset (both XLG/GMAC)
3. For KR - put in reset MPCS (MAC control clock, RX SD clock, TX SD clock), XPSC is RXAUI/XAUI clock domain
4. Power down Serdes lane

Do reconfiguration of Serdes.

5. Enable Serdes lane
6. Disable MPCS reset for KR
7. Disable port reset (both XLG/GMAC)
8. Enable port  (both XLG/GMAC)

Stefan,
Best Regards.
