Yeah, the commit message describes a different problem than the one
you are seeing, but I suspect you were also broken by 308c6cafde01,
because that added the phy_stop() call.

It stops the underlying phy, but it should be started again when the
interface is brought up (hns_nic_net_up()). I don't know why it isn't
- perhaps another side-effect of calling phy_stop() before
phy_start(). Thanks for testing - I'll get this fix submitted.
