Comment (by anonymous):
hello finally working,
This is my link in forum
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=56821
I added the broadcom phy in buildroot as suggest in the reply, it didnt
work until i added a broadcom symlink from modules-booted.d to modules.d
It now works straight off bootup.
My assumption is if you are using the mainline kernal release, you need
the broadcom phy driver as this adds specific support for your device. If
you are compiling on a running machine after downloading from the broadcom
website it doesnt require broadcom phy as it compiles to suit the
environment.

this was the script added to the buildroot, it just doesnt add the symlink
as mentioned above.
Thanks for your help as well
add the following to package/kernel/linux/modules/netdevices.mk
define KernelPackage/phy-broadcom
SUBMENU:=$(NETWORK_DEVICES_MENU)
TITLE:=Broadcom PHY support
KCONFIG:=CONFIG_BROADCOM_PHY
DEPENDS:=+kmod-libphy
FILES:=$(LINUX_DIR)/drivers/net/phy/broadcom.ko
AUTOLOAD:=$(call AutoLoad,15,broadcom)
endef
define KernelPackage/phy-broadcom/description
Currently supports the BCM5411, BCM5421, BCM5461, BCM5464, BCM5481,
BCM5482 and BCM57780 PHYs.
endef
$(eval $(call KernelPackage,phy-broadcom))
