If bit 9 is indeed the restart-an bit, it will be self-clearing, so
I wouldn't expect a read back of it to change to 0x36da.

I guess next thing to try is clearing and setting the AN enable bit,
bit 12, so please try this:

mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8 0x24da
mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8 0x36da
mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 9

If that doesn't work, then let's try something a bit harder:

mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 8 0xb4da
mdio mdio-bus 6:30 raw 9

Please let me know the results from those.

Thanks.
