Subject: Re: BCM54220: After the BCM54220 closes the auto-negotiation, the
configuration forces the 1000M network port to be linked down all the time.

Are you talking about ethtool -s [master-slave|preferred-master|preferred-slave|forced-master|forced-slave]
The broadcom PHYs call genphy_config_aneg() -> __genphy_config_aneg()
-> genphy_setup_master_slave() which should configure this, even when
auto-neg is off.
