Use ethtool -S to if there are any pause frames, etc. See if frames are
still making it into PHY statistics but not being received.

Use ethtool -d to dump registers. Need current version of ethtool with decode logic.

Then look for things like is Ram buffer read/write pointer changing?

Is GMAC stuck in pause:

Normal is:
GMAC 1
Status 0x5010 (see GM_GPSR_XXX in sky2.h)
Control 0x1800

Stuck is
GMAC 1
Status 0x5810 (or 0x5A10)
