O.K, that is consistent. Looking at the Marvell SDK:

phy/Include/madApiDefs.h:#define    MAD_SUB_88E1510  4   /* 88E1510 */
phy/Include/madApiDefs.h:#define    MAD_SUB_88E1518  5   /* 88E1518 */
phy/Include/madApiDefs.h:#define    MAD_SUB_88E1512  6   /* 88E1512/88E1514 */

I took another look at the patch adding Fibre support. The
suspend/resume functions are wrong.

        /* Suspend the fiber mode first */
        if (!(phydev->supported & SUPPORTED_FIBRE)) {
 
The ! should not be there. Does removing them both fix your problem?
