While bisecting this i landed at the commit dee23594d587386e9fda76732aa5f5a487709510 ("e1000e: Make speed detection on hotplugging cable more reliable") as the first bad commit. And indeed just reverting the commit on top of 5.4rc1 resolves the problem. Let me know if you have further questions, or patches to test!

Compiled and tested as is (not having set /power/control) the up and 
down cycle is still persistent.
