BMCR_RESET | BMCR_ANENABLE | BMCR_FULLDPLX

You should check i have that correct, but no need for magic values
with this register.

It is possible to add more results code, if you think Impedance
mismatch is useful.

I'm not sure this is required. When the cable test is finished, the
PHY state machine is moved to PHY_UP. That will cause
phy_config_aneg() to be called which should set BMCR back to the
correct value.
