David,  there have another patch to saving ethernet power, which will disable phy
And MAC clock after module probe. The patch also include the information to explain
Some cases.

Of course, current Linux-next ethernet cannot work for imx6sl evk platform just because the 
Reset operation is not correct, have no dependency on saving power patch. 

Thanks,
Andy
