It appears that gianfar driver has the same problem[1] that I
just fixed for ucc_geth.
NFS boot using 10/half link takes about 10 minutes to complete:
eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.2, 00:11:22:33:44:55
eth0: Running with NAPI enabled
eth0: 256/256 RX/TX BD ring size
[...]
Sending DHCP requests .
PHY: mdio at e0024520:02 - Link is Up - 10/Half
., OK
[...]
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.0.0.2
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 10.0.0.2
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) readonly on device 0:11.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 188k init
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
[... few minutes of OK/not responding flood ...]
And just as with ucc_geth, statistic shows errors:
# ethtool -S eth0 | grep -v ": 0"
NIC statistics:
rx-dropped-by-kernel: 2

The symptoms were observed on MPC8379E-RDB boards (eTSEC). Although
I didn't find where documentation forbids clearing Full Duplex bit
for non-MII/RMII modes, it's pretty distinct that the bit should be
set.
It's no wonder though, QE Ethernet and TSEC are pretty similar.
