With netconsole > disabled, and your phy_reset patch applied it seems to still work. The The "seems" above was the key word. Once again I had a case, when after re-compiling the kernel again with the disabled call to __rtl8169_set_mac_addr only ping worked. And a power-off was required to recover. So, that phy_reset doesn't seem to be very safe either.
