Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.12 21/39] net: phy: dp83867: perform soft reset and retain established link

From: Praneeth Bajjuri <praneeth@...com>

[ Upstream commit da9ef50f545f86ffe6ff786174d26500c4db737a ]

Current logic is performing hard reset and causing the programmed
registers to be wiped out.

as per datasheet: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/dp83867cr.pdf
8.6.26 Control Register (CTRL)

do SW_RESTART to perform a reset not including the registers,
If performed when link is already present,
it will drop the link and trigger re-auto negotiation.
