See df8ed346d4a8 ("net: phy: fix flag masking in __set_phy_supported").
phy_set_max_speed() used to (unintentionally) mask the pause bits
and it seems that the fec driver used this bug as a feature.

Instead of programmatically removing the feature bit it should be
possible to do this in the PHY driver configuration. See also
this part of phy_probe().

if (phydrv->features & (SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause)) {
phydev->supported &= ~(SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause);
phydev->supported |= phydrv->features &
(SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause);
} else {
phydev->supported |= SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause;
}

I don't think there's anything wrong with phylib. Time difference
between the fec_enet_mii_probe messages and the "link up" message
is little bit more than 3s in both cases.
For a reason not visible here the fec_enet_mii_probe messages
come 2s later in the second case.
What happens after the "link up" message is out of control of phylib.
