Datasheet says:

If enhanced link detection is enabled (it is enabled by default), the
ADIN1300 typically reacts to a break in the cable within 10 μs and
indicates link down via the LINK_ST pin. If enhanced link detection
is not enabled, the ADIN1300 follows the IEEE standard, and in
100BASE-TX, it can take more than either 350 ms or 750 ms in
1000BASE-T, depending if the PHY is 1000BASE-T master or 1000BASE-T
slave.

10uS is closer to 0ms and 1ms, so ETHTOOL_PHY_FAST_LINK_DOWN_ON == 0
is right.
