[U-Boot] [PATCH] net: phy: realtek: Introduce quirk to mark RXC not stoppable

[Carlo Caione]

When EEE is supported by the PHY and the driver allows it, libphy in the
kernel is configuring the PHY to stop receiving the xMII clock while it
is signaling LPI. While this (usually) works fine in the kernel this is
causing issues in U-Boot when rebooting from the linux kernel with this
bit set (without having the possibility to reset the PHY) where the PHY
suddenly stops working.

A new quirk is introduced to unconditionally reset this bit. If the
quirk is not enabled using the proper configuration symbol, the PHY state
is not changed.

Hi Joe,
just an heads up that this patch depends on the MMD helpers patch I 
submitted earlier.

+	  The IEEE 802.3az-2010 (EEE) standar provides a protocol to coordinate
+	  transitions to/from a lower power consumption level (Low Power Idle
+	  mode) based on link utilization. When no packets are being
+	  transmitted, the system goes to Low Power Idle mode to save power.
+
+	  Under particular circumstances this setting can cause issues where
+	  the PHY is unable to transmit or receive any packet when in LPI mode.
+	  The problem is caused when the PHY is configured to stop receiving
+	  the xMII clock while it is signaling LPI. When not stated otherwise
+	  this bit is set by libphy in the linux kernel.
+
+	  Default n, which means that the PHY state is not changed. To work
+	  around the issues, change this setting to y.
