When using rtl8211f in polling mode, may get a invalid speed,
because of reading a fake link up and autoneg complete status
immediately after starting autoneg:

According to the datasheet of rtl8211f, to get the real time
link status, need to read MII_BMSR twice.

This patch add a read_status hook for rtl8211f, and do a fake
phy_read before genphy_read_status(), so that can get real link
status in genphy_read_status().
