Damn it!!! Stupid fingers.
I meant to write "could NOT find this problem fixed" !

So IHMO there is neither in recent linuxppc_2_4_devel nor in linuxppc_2_4 a fix
for the mentioned problem.

I'll attach my patch. It is not configurable since I think it won't break anything.

If you need or wish something like CONFIG_FEC_FIX_RACE or
CONFIG_FEC_LATE_ENABLE_PHY I could do that!
