Btw. you/we can also remove that magic SGMII link timer numbers:

#define ENETC_PCS_LINK_TIMER_VAL(ms) \
    ((u32)(125000000 * (ms) / 1000))

Then for SGMII its ENETC_PCS_LINK_TIMER_VAL(1.6) and for 1000BaseX
(and 2500BaseX?) its ENETC_PCS_LINK_TIMER_VAL(10) (which also match
to the default value in the registers).

Please note, that the current hardcoded values doesn't match the
calculated ones precisely. I don't know where these are coming from,
but the 1.6ms matches the SGMII spec.
