I've never seen the link up/down problem myself, so I don't know if any changes I've made have an effect on it. You would need to change more than the bce driver since it depends upon the brgphy driver under sys/dev/mii which would also need to change. There may be other dependencies upon changes in the 6.2 kernel which would prevent a quick/easy port without some debugging.
