Something happend here. But I have no idea why link state was
changed here.

Shomething brought up the link again. If link partner is switch then
I hardly guess this unless you unplug/plug UTP cable.

If this is something related with suspend mode I guess you can
easily verify this(Add some printfs in if_nfe.c:nfe_suspend).
I vaguely guess link state handling of nfe(4) is not complete so
it may have reprogrammed MAC with invalid speed/duplex during
link state transition.
