I think you're referring to the issue that was fixed with following
commit: 72d8b4fdbfb6 ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: support in-band signalling
on SGMII ports with external PHYs"). The commit description also has a
link to the discussion we had about the issue. If I read it correctly
the issue is independent of this proprietary 1000BaseT2 mode having
been used.
