Hey folks, don't really want to necrobump this, but the original hack patch is the only way I can get my weirdo Realtek (noticing a pattern here) GPON modem-on-a-stick to probe at 2500base-x on a BPi-R4. I've actually tracked down the issue myself and wrote basically the same patch first :( Is there anything I can do (with my extremely limited phylink understanding) to help move this forward so other people don't have to suffer like I did?
