STATUS0 => 0x40, which is expected.

Then I do write 0x40 to STATUS0 -> bit6 (RESETC) is R/W1C

After reading the same register - I do receive 0x00 (it has been
cleared).

Then I write 0x8006 to OA_CONFIG0.

(Those two steps are regarded as "configuration" of LAN865x device in
the documentation)

In this patch set -> the OA_COFIG0 also has the 0x6 added to indicate
the SPI transfer chunk.

Dump of OA registers:
{0x11, 0x7c1b3, 0x5e5, 0x0, 0x8006, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,
0x3000, 0x1fbf, 0x3ffe0003, 0x0, 0x0}

Status 0 (0x8) -> 0x0
Status 1 (0x9) -> 0x0

All the interrupts on MASK{01} are masked. 

Changing it to:
sts &= ~(OA_IMASK0_TXPEM | OA_IMASK0_TXBOEM | OA_IMASK0_TXBUEM |
OA_IMASK0_RXBOEM | OA_IMASK0_LOFEM | OA_IMASK0_HDREM

doesn't fix this problem.

It can be GPIO controlled. However, it is not required. I've tied it to
3V3 and also left NC, but no change.

I've reconfigured the board to use only SW based reset (i.e. set bit0
in OA_RESET - 0x3).

I can omit the RST_N control. I'd just expect the IRQ_N to be high
after reset.

The documentation is silent about the "settle down time". The only
requirements is for RST_N assertion > 5us. However, when the IRQ_N goes
low, and the interrupt is served - it happens that I cannot read ID
from the chip via SPI.
