Subject: [PATCH review for 4.9 23/50] net: phy: dp83867: Recover from "port
 mirroring" N/A MODE4

From: Lukasz Majewski <lukma@...x.de>

[ Upstream commit ac6e058b75be71208e98a5808453aae9a17be480 ]

The DP83867 when not properly bootstrapped - especially with LED_0 pin -
can enter N/A MODE4 for "port mirroring" feature.

To provide normal operation of the PHY, one needs not only to explicitly
disable the port mirroring feature, but as well stop some IC internal
testing (which disables RGMII communication).

To do that the STRAP_STS1 (0x006E) register must be read and RESERVED bit
11 examined. When it is set, the another RESERVED bit (11) at PHYCR
(0x0010) register must be clear to disable testing mode and enable RGMII
communication.

Thorough explanation of the problem can be found at following e2e thread:
"DP83867IR: Problem with RESERVED bits in PHY Control Register (PHYCR) -
Linux driver"
