[U-Boot] [PATCH] net: phy: atheros: Fix problem with phy_reset() clearing BMCR

In commit <a058052c358c> [net: phy: do not read configuration register on reset], phy_reset() will clear the BMCR register. Bit 12(AUTO_NEGOTIATION) is cleared too. It causes auto-negotiation timeout error on Atheros's PHY AR8033.
To fix this problem, genphy_config_aneg() and genphy_restart_aneg() needs to be called in ar8035_config() to enable and restart auto-negotiation.

It is always a good idea to put the author of the offending patch on Cc.
Added Stefan.

Thanks.
Hm, even more fallout from my change, sorry about that.
I guess explicitly reconfigure and restart autonegotiation makes sense.
