Subject: [PATCH] tg3: Add param `short_preamble` to enable MDIO traffic to external PHYs

From: Roy Lee <roy_lee@...ton.com>

Add parameter to enable *short preamble* for MAC, so MDIO access to some
external PHY, like BCM54616, can be validated.

Applies to the five platforms below, that have the ethernet controller
BCM5720:

as7116_54x, as7326_56x, as7716_32x-r0, as7716_32xb, and as7816_64x

Verified by mii-tool. (31 is the address of external phy).

    root@...ic:/home/admin# mii-tool -v eth0 -p 31
    using the specified MII index 31.
    eth0: negotiated, link ok
    product info: vendor 00:d8:97, model 17 rev 2
    basic mode: autonegotiation enabled
    basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok
    capabilities: 1000baseT-HD 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
    advertising: flow-control
    link partner: 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD

Note, this upstreams a patch to the SONiC Linux kernel added in 2018
[1][2][3].
