Hm.  That's a bit strange.  What kind of PHY are you using?  The PHY  
layer acts like that if auto-negotiation fails and it couldn't  
establish a link using any other method.

Some things to double-check:

* Are your etsec interrupts correct in your dts.  Shouldn't be an  
issue, but if you copied them from the wrong place, or used an out-of- 
date dts, the numbers could be wrong

* Are your PHY interrupts correct in your dts.  If the PHY interrupts  
are wrong, the PHY Lib might never discover that a link was established
