Hi Andrew
This problem is not timeout, I have print return value of phy_read_poll_timeout()
and it is 0.
In this case, as speed and duplex both are unknown, ctl is just set to 0x4000.
However, the follow code sets mask to ~0 for function phy_modify():
int genphy_loopback(struct phy_device *phydev, bool enable)
{
if (enable) {
...
phy_modify(phydev, MII_BMCR, ~0, ctl);
...
}
so all other bits of BMCR will be cleared and just set bit 14, I use phy trace to
prove that:

So phy speed will be set to 10M in this case, if previous speed of device before going
down is 10M, loopback test is pass. Only previous speed is 100M or 1000M, loopback test is failed.
