Hi Andrew,

Adding Russell to Cc:

I'm currently in the process of updating the GE B850v3
[1] to
run
a
newer kernel than the one it's currently running. 

Which kernel exactly. We like bug reports against net-next,
or
at
least the last -rc.

I tested using v5.15-rc3 and that was also affected.

I've just tested v5.16-rc4 (sorry - just realised I previously
wrote
v5.15-rc3, it was v5.16-rc3...) and that was exactly the same.

Just to clarify: you're saying that you're on v5.16-rc4 and that
if
you
revert commit 3be98b2d5fbc ("net: dsa: Down cpu/dsa ports phylink
will
control"), the link works again?

Correct

It is a bit strange that the external ports negotiate at
10Mbps/Full,
is that the link speed you intend the ports to work at?

Yes, that's 100% intentional due to what's connected to to those
ports
and the environment it works in.

Just out of curiosity, can you try this change? It looks like a
simple
case of mismatched conditions inside the mv88e6xxx driver between
what
is supposed to force the link down and what is supposed to force it
up:
