genphy_c45_an_config_eee_aneg() writes the EEE advertisement to the
auto-negotiation device's MMD register space (MDIO_MMD_AN, register
MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV). These registers are read by the link partner only
during auto-negotiation, so writing them while autoneg is disabled
cannot influence the link. On some PHYs (e.g. Broadcom BCM54213PE)
the write nevertheless reaches the chip and disturbs the receive
datapath.
Concretely, running
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee off
leaves eth0 with TX working and RX completely silent on a
Raspberry Pi 4 / CM4 board (bcmgenet + BCM54213PE in rgmii-rxid).
Switching back to autoneg recovers the link.
Prior to commit f26a29a038 ("net: phy: ensure that genphy_c45_an_config_eee_aneg() sees new value of phydev->eee_cfg.eee_enabled"),
the disable path was effectively a no-op because the helper read
the stale eee_cfg.eee_enabled, so the underlying PHY behavior never
surfaced.
Bisected on rpi-6.12.y between commits 83943264 (good) and
effcbc88 (bad) to f26a29a038.
Fixes: f26a29a038 ("net: phy: ensure that genphy_c45_an_config_eee_aneg() sees new value of phydev->eee_cfg.eee_enabled")
