Vladimir,

Yes, this patch resolves the issue. Enabling CONFIG_MARVELL_PHY
without this patch still shows the issue.

Thanks - please cc me on that and I'll respond (unless you want me to send it).

I'll submit a v2 of my dt patch with fec phy-mode = 'rgmii' after this
patch lands.

Best Regards,

Tim
