Subject: Altera TSE driver not working in 100mbps mode

	Hi Thor,

In my effort to move Altera TSE driver from PHYLIB to PHYLINK i ran into a 
problem.  The driver would not work properly on 100Mbit/s links.  This is true 
for the original driver in linux-5.4.y as well as for my PHYLINK/SFP enabled 
version.

This is a DT fragment of what i've been trying with 5.4.y kernels and the 
stock driver:

                tse_sub_2: ethernet@...0300000 {
                        status = "disabled";

                        compatible = "altr,tse-msgdma-1.0";
                        reg =   <0xc0300000 0x00000400>,
                                <0xc0301000 0x00000020>,
                                <0xc0302000 0x00000020>,
                                <0xc0303000 0x00000008>,
                                <0xc0304000 0x00000020>,
                                <0xc0305000 0x00000020>;
                        reg-names = "control_port", "rx_csr", "rx_desc", "rx_resp", "tx_csr", "tx_desc";
                        interrupt-parent =< &intc >;
                        interrupts = <0 54 4>, <0 55 4>;
                        interrupt-names = "rx_irq", "tx_irq";
                        rx-fifo-depth = <2048>;
                        tx-fifo-depth = <2048>;
                        address-bits = <48>;
                        max-frame-size = <1500>;
                        local-mac-address = [ 00 0C ED 00 00 06 ];
                        altr,has-supplementary-unicast;
                        altr,has-hash-multicast-filter;
                        phy-handle = <0>;
                        fixed-link {
                                speed = <1000>;
                                full-duplex;
                        };
                };

Trying "speed = <100>;" above also doesn't change much, except that the link is 
reported (as expected) as 100Mbps.

With the PHYLINK code the above fragment is pretty much the same except for:

                        sfp = <&sfp0>;
                        phy-mode = "sgmii";
                        managed = "in-band-status";

Both (old and new) drivers are working fine on 1Gbps links with optics and 
copper SFPs.  With PHYLINK code (and in auto-negotiation mode) the link speed 
and duplex is properly detected as 100Mbps.  MAC and PCS also look correctly set 
up, but the device is still unable to receive or transmit packages.

Please let me know should you need more details.

thanks,
Petko
