Subject: [PATCH 0/2 (linux-stable-4.5.y)] net: stmmac: MDIO fixes

These patches port some recent fixes for linux-4.5.y stable branch.
They fix the MDIO settings trying to cover the all possible scenario
when the stmmac is connected to a real transceiver or a switch.

These patches are needed for Kernel 4.5 where Lime2, BananaPi and Cubieboard2
show problems when use the stmmac:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823493

Additional Note:

 o The 4.4.y branch has a previous version of the stmmac;
   that is not including the development that introduced
   the regressions for MDIO bus.

 o The 4.5.y kernel has "March_2013" stmmac version plus the
   patch that introduce some MDIO configuration problems
   so the regressions.

 o The 4.6.y has all the fixes on top of the "Oct_2015"
   stmmac version.
