The QCA955X is affected by a hardware bug which causes link-loss of the
SGMII link between SoC and PHY. This happens on change of link-state or
speed.
It is not really known what causes this bug. It definitely occurs when
using a AR8033 Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
Qualcomm solves this Bug in a similar fashion. We need to apply the fix
on a per-device base via platform-data as performing the fixup work will
break connectivity in case the SGMII interface is connected to a Switch.
This bug was first proposed to be fixed by Sven Eckelmann in 2016.
