5622575c5e4bffb07307f39903bb95caad7d172d [realtek] Work around hardware bug on RTL8211B
The RTL8211B seems to have a bug that prevents the link from coming up
unless the MII_MMD_DATA register is cleared.
The Linux kernel driver applies this workaround (in rtl8211b_resume())
only to the specific RTL8211B PHY model, along with a matching
workaround to set bit 9 of MII_MMD_DATA when suspending the PHY.
Since we have no need to ever suspend the PHY, and since writing a
zero ought to be harmless, we just clear the register unconditionally.
