[PATCH net 1/1] net: phy: dp83867: perform phy reset after modifying auto-neg setting

From: Song Yoong Siang <yoong.siang.song@xxxxxxxxx>

In the case where TI DP83867 is connected back-to-back with another TI
DP83867, SEEDs match will occurs when advertised link speed is changed from
100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, which causing Master/Slave resolution fails and restart
of the auto-negotiation. As a result, TI DP83867 copper auto-negotiation
completion will takes up to 15 minutes.

To resolve the issue, this patch implemented phy reset (software restart
which perform a full reset, but not including registers) immediately after
modifying auto-negotiation setting. By applying reset to the phy, it would
also reset the lfsr which would increase the probability of SEEDS being
different and help in Master/Slave resolution. Gerome from TI has confirmed
that there is no harm in adding soft restart in auto-negotiation
programming flow, even though the system is not facing SEEDs match issue.
