I've seen that this issue and the fix I've applied were discussed extensively 
back in 2016 in this thread:
- https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-March/248498.html

The conclusion of the thread above was to add 
CONFIG_RTL8211X_PHY_FORCE_MASTER config parameter. Which was done with :
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-March/249734.html

So I did not create a pull request.

Note that setting CONFIG_RTL8211X_PHY_FORCE_MASTER parameter did 
not fix my Lime2 rev K board:

I used the value shown at the beginning of this bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911560#15

I've not tested other values.

Since then, I've been side-tracked by some career changes [1] and did not 
investigate further this issue.

All the best
