but it looks like the fixed link ports are reporting some pretty strange
advertisement values one of my two platforms running the same kernel image:

# ethtool rgmii_2
Settings for rgmii_2:
        Supported ports: [ MII ]
        Supported link modes:   1000baseKX/Full
        Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Supported FEC modes: Not reported
        Advertised link modes:  1000baseKX/Full
        Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only

These should be 1000BaseT/Full since these are RGMII fixed links:

# ethtool rgmii_2
Settings for rgmii_2:
        Supported ports: [ MII ]
        Supported link modes:   1000baseT/Full
        Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Supported FEC modes: Not reported
        Advertised link modes:  1000baseT/Full
        Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
        Link partner advertised link modes:  1000baseT/Full

There is no problem with Linus' master branch at
net-5.16-rc4-173-ga51e3ac43ddb, let me see if I can bisect this and/or
fix it in the next days.

Thanks!
