Re: BCM54220: After the BCM54220 closes the auto-negotiation, the configuration forces the 1000M network port to be linked down all the time.

In auto-negotiation mode: normal Link Up, dump of registers:

When auto-negotiation is disabled and configured as forced 1000M mode, 
the register dump:

The other end of the port is also in the link down state.

I am using copper mode.

And I found that the AR8031 PHY also has this problem. In the case of 
auto-negotiation, 1000M can be negotiated. When auto-negotiation is 
turned off, 10M and 100M can be Link Up, but 1000M can also be Link 
Down. I read the AR8031 manual https://pdf1. 
alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/1132454/ETC2/AR8035.html, there is 
only such a statement "If auto-negotiation is disabled, a 10 BASE-Te or 
100 BASE-TX can be manually selected using the IEEE MII registers .”
