This patch introduces CONFIG_RTL8211X_PHY_FORCE_MASTER. If this define is set, RTL8211x PHYs will have their 1000BASE-T master/slave autonegotiation disabled and forced to master mode.
This is helpful for PHYs like the RTL8211C which produce unstable links in slave mode. Such problems have been found on the A20-Olimex-SOM-EVB and A20-OLinuXino-Lime2.
There is no proper way to identify affected PHYs as the RTL8211C shares its UID with the RTL8211B. Thus, this fixes requires the introduction of an #ifdef.

Changes in v3: - Remove incorrect detection of RTL8211CL and use #ifdef instead (thanks to Karsten Merker) - Introduced constants for register bits
Changes in v2: - Removed accidental inclusion of Karsten's patch in my first submission of this series. - Fix a typo in the code: 6 -> &
