What version of i210 driver are you using? An in-kernel version? What kernel version? There have been some fixes to the upstream driver recently which may have resolved this issue. The i210 driver was not resetting the PTP signals when it changed link status, and I believe this may have been fixed. If not, providing more detail may be useful in forwarding this to the current driver owner.
