Thanks for the additional info. PHY status 0xeb means that
a link is established at 100Mbps, see following from the
driver source. Having said that the downshift happens also
under 5.4, it's just not reported.

	/* rtl8169_PHYstatus */
	TBI_Enable	= 0x80,
	TxFlowCtrl	= 0x40,
	RxFlowCtrl	= 0x20,
	_1000bpsF	= 0x10,
	_100bps		= 0x08,
	_10bps		= 0x04,
	LinkStatus	= 0x02,
	FullDup		= 0x01,

1Gbps needs all four cable pairs, whilst 100Mbps is happy
with two. Therefore one reason could be a physical problem
(e.g. corrosion) with a pin in a RJ45 port.
(in case you tried other cables already and you can rule out
a cable problem)
