Cool.

Ok, I suppose this means that the behavior you're observing is different
from that of the "gm" driver.  The MII/PHY setup in the "gem" driver is
a bit different -- I'll poke around and see if I can find anything
suspicious.

Ok ... this means there's probably some MAC setup missing for Gig-E speeds.
I'll take a look into this, too.

Right, because ukphy doesn't know how to figure out what the Gig-E
media is ... I should be able to fix this, too.
