OK, back to the original dts with phy-mode = "2500base-x", with peer set
to 1G. Still no success:

root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8
0x34da
root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 9
0x000e
root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8 0x24da
root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8 0x36da
root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 9
0x000e
root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8 0xb4da
root@OpenWrt:/# mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 9
0x000e
