Hi Andrew,
This configuration sequence is specified to the qca8084 chip,
not related with the platform(such as ipq5332).

All these configured registers are located in qca8084 chip, we need
to complete these configurations to make MDIO bus being able to
scan the qca8084 PHY(PHY registers can be accessed).
