Hi Parthiban

I've been testing the v2 patches out a bit, at Ferroamp we're planning
on using a dual LAN8650 setup in a product.

First let me say that we'd be happy to assist with testing and
development.

I got some observations that I think this patch is the resonable place
to discuss it, since they seem to be MAC/PHY related.

In order to get a reliable link I'm using the dts snippet below (for an
imx8 cpu)

&ecspi1 {
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_ecspi1>;
	cs-gpios = <0> , <&gpio5 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
	status = "okay";

	spe1: ethernet@1{
		compatible = "microchip,lan865x";
		reg = <1>;
		interrupt-parent = <&gpio5>;
		interrupts = <0 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
		spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
		oa-tc6{
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;
			oa-cps = <32>;
			oa-prote;
			oa-dprac;
		};
	};
};

With this setup I'm getting a maximum throughput of about 90kB/s.
If I increase the chunk size / oa-cps to 64 I get a might higher
throughput ~900kB/s, but after 0-2s I get dump below (or similar).

Additionally when hotplugging cables, which might not be a realworld
scenario I'm also seeing intermittent watchdog timeouts.

In both scenarios the driver does not recover.
