+There are two known 1000baseT link establishment issues with JMC25x.
+If the full mask revision number of JMC25x controller is less than
+or equal to 4 and link partner enabled IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient
+Ethernet feature,  the controller would not be able to establish a
+1000baseT link.
+Also if the length of cable is longer than 120 meters, controller
+can not establish a 1000baseT link.
+The known workaround for the issue is to force manual link
+configuration with 100baseTX instead of relying on auto-negotiation.
+The full mask revision number of controller could be checked with
+verbose kernel boot option.
+Use lower nibble of chip revision number to get full mask revision of
+the controller.
