Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] net: atlantic: loopback configuration in improper place

Initial loopback configuration should be called earlier, before
starting traffic on HW blocks. Otherwise depending on race conditions
it could be kept disabled.

Fixes: ea4b4d7fc106 ("net: atlantic: loopback tests via private flags")
