Comment (by cmlara):
Question:
Is this actually an issue in trunk? The boot log is from Kernel 3.10.49
which may be BB.
It looks like this may possibly be covered in Kernel 3.16 and newer

{{{
258 static void at803x_link_change_notify(struct phy_device *phydev)
259 {
260 struct at803x_priv *priv = phydev->priv;
261
262 /*
263 * Conduct a hardware reset for AT8030 every time a link loss
is
264 * signalled. This is necessary to circumvent a hardware bug
that
265 * occurs when the cable is unplugged while TX packets are
pending
266 * in the FIFO. In such cases, the FIFO enters an error mode
it
267 * cannot recover from by software.
268 */
}}}
Looks to me like this may catch it.
