net: phy: smsc: Re-enable EDPD mode for LAN87xx
This patch re-enables Energy Detect Power Down (EDPD) mode for the
LAN8710/LAN8720. EDPD mode was disabled in a previous commit,
(b629820d18fa65cc598390e4b9712fd5f83ee693), because it was causing the
PHY to not be able to detect a link when cold started without a cable
connected.
The LAN8710/LAN8720 requires a minimum of 2 link pulses within 64ms of
each other in order to set the ENERGYON bit and exit EDPD mode. If a
link partner does send the pulses within this interval, the PHY will
remained powered down.
This workaround will manually toggle the PHY on/off upon calls to
read_status in order to generate link test pulses if the link is down.
If a link partner is present, it will respond to the pulses, which will
cause the ENERGYON bit to be set and will cause the EDPD mode to be
exited.
