Do you have a logic analyser connected? Can you see if the PHY is
toggling its output pin? We then know if its a PHY problem, or a SoC
problem.

What is the clock setup? Sometimes the MAC gives a clock to the
PHY. Sometimes the PHY gives a lock to the MAC. If its MAC->PHY, and
this clock is getting turned off, that might cause a problem.
