Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with the LAN7515 and the CM3+ carrier's XR22800 Ethernet chip, using the direct connection described. Compare repeated device swaps with and without an Ethernet switch; done means auto-negotiation continues working across the test sequence.

Description
Describe the bug
There seems to be a bug on raspberry pi 3b+ with lan7515 chips where auto negotiation on the Ethernet fails to work after some random period.
To reproduce
We are using the raspberry pi 3b+ as a test rig for Raspberry pi cm3+ based boards. We plug it in via Ethernet connection. Cm3 carrier has a maxlinear/exar xr22800 Eth chip.
One test rig will test a device, device unplugged, new one plugged in and tested... And then repeat.
This will work for the first 1 or 2 times (sometimes more, it seems random) and then eventually will fail to work anymore.
Putting an Ethernet switch between the two and it works flawlessly.
This is repeatable on 10 test rigs we have set up.
Expected behaviour
Auto negotiation should work at all times
Actual behaviour
Auto negotiation fails
