Thanks a lot for your testing efforts, much appreciated.
You could try the following (quick and dirty) test patch that fully mimics
the vendor driver as found here:
https://github.com/khadas/linux/blob/buildroot-aml-4.9/drivers/amlogic/ethernet/phy/amlogic.c
First apply
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=a502a8f04097e038c3daa16c5202a9538116d563
This patch is in the net tree currently and should show up in linux-next
beginning of the week.
On top please apply the following (it includes the test patch your working with).
