>From the doc, it looks like it needs the 440 type workaround (and the
405EX as well). Can you try this patch:

emac: Fix clock control for 405EX and 405EXr chips

The EMAC variant in the 405EX and 405EXr chips needs the "440EP" type clock
control workaround to avoid lockups of the Rx side during reset.
