I'm having a similar issue on a hummingboard-i2ex (which is kind of like
a single-board-computer variant of the Cubox-i) on an already installed
system running linux 5.10.x, while 5.9.x works fine on that system, so
seems to be a regression in the kernel.

Pretty sure it is not atheros, but handled by:

  drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c

Not sure what exact module or built-in that ends up in.
