How should the phy detect the cable if we do not wait for it being
detected?

Here's what I get from my board:

BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE (1<<5) not set, this means autonegotiation is not complete

Still not complete,

but we do not wait for it, so network down

Next try, a few seconds later. BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE is set, autonegotiation is complete,
BMSR_LSTATUS showd that link status is up.

And it works.

I do not believe that this behaviour is specific to the special phy on
this board.
