Please try this patch, it should fix the problem.
(Remove the previous debug patch first.)
mcs7830: Fix link state detection
The device had an undocumented "feature": it can provide a sequence of
spurious link-down status data even if the link is up all the time.
A sequence of 10 was seen so update the link state only after the device
reports the same link state 20 times.
