That suggests the MAC is wrongly running at 1G, and the PHY at 100M,
which is why it does not work.

You probably want to add #define DEBUG to the top of phylink.c, and
scatter some debug prints in mv88e6xxx_mac_config(). My guess would
be, either mv88e6xxx_mac_config() is existing before configuring the
MAC, or mv88e6xxx_port_setup_mac() has wrongly decided nothing has
changed and so has not configured the MAC.
