1) First problem reported I can't reproduce anymore, every reboot/cold
boot with mainline kernel the Ethernet speed is detected as
"100Mbps/Full" , but as seen in first post there was this issue.

2) see below

There are some stmmac fixes [1] in soon to be rc5, compiled current
master (without amlogic.c) with the fixes but for me the issue still
persist. I will compile once released rc5 with amlogic.c and report
back.

Khadas VIM support was added in 4.12-rc1. And I did test all four rc's
but without success.
