Thank you for this hint.
Before digging on the Datasheet for the explanation of all MII PHY 
registers, here is the output of the command you wrote above:

So, the link between the FEC and the PHY it is seems to working good.
If everything seems to be ok (speaking about registers) maybe there is 
some issue on the RJ-45 MagJack connector.

What kind of RJ45 are you using?? I am using a 1000/100/10 from Wuerth 
Elektronic named:
Artikelnummer / part number :
Bezeichnung :
description :
7499111121A
LAN-Übertrager WE-RJ45LAN 10/100/1000 BaseT
LAN-Transformer WE-RJ45LAN 10/100/1000 BaseT
