Do you mean this properties?
  qca,smarteee-tw-us-1g
  qca,smarteee-tw-us-100m

Do you have some recommendations, which values can be here used? Are
they same for all MACs? Or, can we calculate this values automatically?

Beside, I have seen this patch: "ARM: dts: imx6qdl-sr-som: fix some
cubox-i platforms"

I had similar issue and it was triggered by the boot loader, which
enabled 60 Ohm on-die termination. The fix was to remove this lines in
the boot loader: wm 32 0x020e07ac 0x00000200 /* 60 Ohm ODT */
