What I think that happens here:
Writing 0x1240 to BMCR starts aneg. When reading BMSR immediately after that then the PHY seems to have cleared
the "aneg complete" bit already, but not yet the "link up" bit. This results in the false "link up" notification.
The following patch is based on the fact that in case of enabled aneg we can't have a valid link if aneg isn't
finished. Could you please test whether this works for you?
