It has been noticed that RTL8211E PHY stops detecting and reporting events (cable plugging in/out, link state changes, etc) when EEE is successfully advertised and "RXC stopping in LPI" is enabled. The freeze happens right after 3.0.10 bit (PC1R "Clock Stop Enable" register) is set. At the same time LED2 stops blinking as if EEE mode has been disabled, interrupt pin doesn't change its state (signal tested by oscilloscope). Notably the network traffic still flows through the PHY with no obvious problem as long as a network cable is connected. But if any MDIO read/write procedure is performed after the "RXC stop in LPI" mode is enabled (even from a non-existent device on the MDIO bus) the PHY gets to be unfrozen, LED2 starts blinking and PHY interrupts happens again (even which have happened during the freeze). The problem has been noticed on RTL8211E PHY working together with DW GMAC 3.73a MAC and reporting its event via a dedicated DW MAC GPIO-IRQ signal. (Obviously the problem has been unnoticed in the polling mode, since it gets naturally fixed by the periodic MDIO read procedure from the PHY status register - BMSR.)
In order to fix that problem we suggest to locally re-implement the MMD write method for RTL8211E PHY and perform a dummy read right after the PC1R register is accessed to enable the RXC stopping in LPI mode.
