From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit d29f5aa0bc0c321e1b9e4658a2a7e08e885da52a ] So far we effectively clear the BMCR register. Some PHY's can deal with this (e.g. because they reset BMCR to a default as part of a soft-reset) whilst on others this causes issues because e.g. the autoneg bit is cleared. Marvell is an example, see also thread [0]. So let's be a little bit more gentle and leave all bits we're not interested in as-is. This change is needed for PHY drivers to properly deal with the original patch.
