Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] net: lan78xx: Implement FIFO stall recovery via lite reset

Implement the recovery logic for the devlink FIFO health reporter.

The recovery callback triggers a full hardware Lite Reset using
lan78xx_reset(). This is a fast, reliable way to restore traffic in
unattended embedded deployments when a FIFO stall is detected.
