Could you please run "ethtool -s eth0 msglvl 0xffffffff" to turn logging
from the driver right up and send a log?  This will spam the log if
there is any traffic but should say why the driver is doing this.

It seems to be repeatedly setting the same duplex setting.  The closest
thing I can see in there in recent times is
68c90166e4aaa15ddcdd4778ad30bfb8b32534be, "Add support for using MII port
with no PHY".

It's not just setting the same duplex setting, the WoL message indicates
that it's doing that as part of init_registers() which should only be
happening in error handling paths and during resume or open.
