Maybe they boot up with gigabit advertisement disabled in their PHY
and thus they don't see the problem?

Other drivers do the following:

- connect to the PHY
- phydev->supported = PHY_BASIC_FEATURES
- phydev->advertising &= phydev->supported
- start the PHY state machine

And they work just fine. Is the PHY driver you are bound to the "Generic
PHY" or something else which does something funky in config_aneg()?
It's marvell 88E1111 from the KC-705 board, but the behaviour doesn't
change if I disable it and the generic phy is used.
Florian,

I don't see how the generic genphy_config_advert can ever change
gigabit advertisement if phydev->supported has gigabit speeds masked
off.
It does not, but it makes sure that phydev->advertising gets masked
with phydev->supported. So, prior to starting your PHY state machine,
if you do:

phydev->supported &= PHY_BASIC_FEATURES;
phydev->advertising = phydev->supported;
It looks like there might be one problem however, if we have the following:

- phydev->supported masks off the Gigabit features
- PHY device comes out of reset/default with Gigabit features set in
MII_CTRL1000
That's exactly my case.

Could you try the following patch:

I don't think this is correct: MII_CTRL1000 is reserved for 10/100 PHYs,
we probably need to read/write it conditionally, depending on MII_BMSR
BMSR_ESTATEN bit.
Otherwise yes, it works for me too.

        return changed;
