phy state changes.

    What address your internal PHY is at? Mine is at 1, and things seem
to work reliably after probing:

SMSC LAN8700 18000000.etherne:01: attached PHY driver [SMSC LAN8700]
(mii_bus:phy_addr=18000000.etherne:01, irq=-1)

        Looks like your phy ends up polling (-1==IRQ_POLL)...


    I'm using the device tree on my board.

This was DT as well with a recent fedora/NetworkManager. It actually seems to be timing related to how fast the device gets configured after the initial phy probe. There is something like a 1 second window or so where it will work, but if network manager takes longer than that, the link state drops and cannot be brought back up unless the cable is pulled, replugged while the netdevice is being restarted.
