I stumbled on that issue last friday as well, with a MCBin and a
device I'm working on, using 1000BaseX with autoneg disabled. I didn't
get time to investigate back then, but reading this series it was
definitely that exact problem I was facing.

I missed your V1 and I just tested that V2, the problem is gone :)
Thanks !

The code LGTM to the best of my knowledge, so
