KSZ8851 errata sheet DS80000716D-page 4 Module 3 [1] states that,
when issuing a software power-down (PMECR[1:0] = 10) followed by a
power-on (PMECR[1:0] = 00), the receiver circuit can fail to start
properly preventing communication. The Transmitter will still send
data, but no data will be received.

The errata sheet also includes a workaround, which states that,
it is recommended that the software power-down feature not be used.
