Like I previously said: there's probably something wrong at my end.
I have the Annex A version of the TD-W8970 and I am trying to use it with
my Annex B ADSL connection (for the record: I am not using a splitter).
While trying to connect the dsl_cpe_control tool reports:
"Wrong combination of DSL PHY Firmware and hybrid type used! Please
change one of it."
I've never seen that, but which firmware are you using?

I'd been using the speedport 1.21
(e1ef690e8dc0075468d4b6ba7bcdd0fc710bc671) one IIRC.

So either my configuration is still incorrect or the modem is somehow
(probably a hardware configuration, maybe via a resistor) configured to
enforce a different hybrid or Annex type (this is pure speculation though).
Are you on VDSL Annex B, where you'd fall back to ADSL 16/1 when
vectoring isn't supported? If so, this configuration should work:

config vdsl 'dsl'
         option annex 'b'
         option firmware '/lib/firmware/vdsl.bin'
         option tone 'b'
         option xfer_mode 'ptm'

(actually I think you can/should remove the "annex" line)

On my previous ISP I was on Annex A, but I don't have the right
configuration right now.

Note that the system seems to be too slow for 100 Mbps though, so this
is somewhat academic, it can't do 100 Mbps NAT in my tests. I'm probably
going to replace it with something faster and leave VDSL to a separate
modem.
I am interested in your test results, even though it's purely academic :-).
First I'm going to replace this router with one that's faster, and then
I'll start playing with this :-) Right now I need it to have internet
connectivity.

Someone else has tested the new driver in the meantime (using Annex A,
no VDSL): [0]
It seems that the modem syncs and is even able to connect (as far as I
understand with some manual steps), but after a few minutes the connection
drops.
Interesting. I don't think I ever saw any connection dropouts ever.
OTOH, I occasionally had the whole system spontaneously wedge itself and
require a power cycle, so ...

No dropouts, system flooded with:

[ 456.056000] DSL[00]: negative response for MsgID=0x2B0A (Class=0x00003100) - on try 0!
[  456.764000] DSL[00]: Error for send CMD MsgID=0x2B0A - KEEP line!
[  456.768000] DSL[00]: ERROR - ReTx PM counters read failed!
[  457.032000] MEI_DRV[00 - 01]: ReadAck[0x2B0A] - FctOP ERROR 0x31!

and after about 20-30 min hangs, after disabling ReTx at build system stays online for at least 6 hours (didn't test further) with some warnings repeating every two seconds:

[ 458.772000] DSL[00]: WARNING - Data Path counters are not supported for the FE!

vectoring and ReTx works acording to friend but system log shows some errors as well like on my ADSL line but not so many.

On ADSL and also on VDSL with never firmware and errors/warnings appearing in log, system is under quite big load, compared to stock drivers.

Probably we need dsl_control script to be reworked, as new features aren't present in it and stock/default config isn't the best.
