[PATCH 3/3] net: phy: bcm54811: Fix the PHY initialization

From: Kamil Horák - 2N
Date: Thu Jun 26 2025 - 07:57:46 EST


Reset the bit 12 in PHY's LRE Control register upon initialization.
According to the datasheet, this bit must be written to zero after
every device reset.

Fixes: 03ab6c244bb0 ("net: phy: bcm-phy-lib: Implement BroadR-Reach link modes")
