> This points to an issue with the Generic 10G PHY driver. The following patch seems to be missing from the 4.19 stable tree and should be merged:

But that patch says it:
Fixes: 719655a14971 ("net: phy: Replace phy driver features u32 with link_mode bitmap")

Which is not in 4.19.y, it showed up in 4.20.

Ah, wait, I think that there was a patch backported to the 4.19.y queue
that should not have, specifically:
	3e64cf7a435e ("net: phy: phy driver features are mandatory")
which said it too fixes:
	719655a14971 ("net: phy: Replace phy driver features u32 with link_mode bitmap")


Holger, if you revert 3e64cf7a435e, does that solve the problem for you
here?
