====================
net: phy: microchip: LAN88xx reliability fixes

This patch series improves the reliability of the Microchip LAN88xx
PHYs, particularly in edge cases involving fixed link configurations or
forced speed modes.

Patch 1 assigns genphy_soft_reset() to the .soft_reset hook to ensure
that stale link partner advertisement (LPA) bits are properly cleared
during reconfiguration. Without this, outdated autonegotiation bits may
remain visible in some parallel detection cases.

Patch 2 restricts the 100 Mbps workaround (originally intended to handle
cable length switching) to only run when the link transitions to the
PHY_NOLINK state. This prevents repeated toggling that can confuse
autonegotiating link partners such as the Intel i350, leading to
unstable link cycles.

Both patches were tested on a LAN7850 (with integrated LAN88xx PHY)
against an Intel I350 NIC. The full test suite - autonegotiation, fixed
link, and parallel detection - passed successfully.
