I'm currently investigating this. I couldn't reproduce it though, even
with the C reproducer, although this was on an arm64 box. I'll give it
a try on x86_64 with the provided .config, see if I can figure out
what's going on, as it looks like the ethnl_phy_start() doesn't get
called.

Thanks,

Maxime
