Did you try to rebase the patches necessary for the GSW145 on top of the
last known-to-work net-next commit?

Also note that I've successfully tested local_termination.sh on top
of ea7d0d60ebc9bddf3ad768557dfa1495bc032bf6, but using the modified
RaspberryPi 4B provided by MaxLinear, so there obviously is a different
Ethernet driver on the CPU port...
