Nicolai Buchwitz e417ac73d2 net: phy: microchip: add downshift tunable support for LAN88xx
Implement the standard ETHTOOL_PHY_DOWNSHIFT tunable for the LAN88xx
PHY. This allows runtime configuration of the auto-downshift feature
via ethtool:

  ethtool --set-phy-tunable eth0 downshift on count 3

The LAN88xx PHY supports downshifting from 1000BASE-T to 100BASE-TX
after 2-5 failed auto-negotiation attempts. Valid count values are
2, 3, 4 and 5.

This is based on an earlier downstream implementation by Phil Elwell.
