Would you show me more information for the issue? Frequent freeze
is ambiguous to me. More specific issues like, watchdog timeout, or
console output generated by re(4) would be better to me. If you
know how to reliably trigger the issue, also include that
information.

Please show me full dmesg output related with re(4) and rgephy(4).
re(4) might show more detailed chip/MAC revision for your
controller.
