net: phy: smsc: Force predictable MDI-X state on LAN87xx
Override the hardware strap configuration for MDI-X mode to ensure a predictable initial state for the driver. The initial mode of the LAN87xx PHY is determined by the AUTOMDIX_EN strap pin, but the driver has no documented way to read its latched status. This unpredictability means the driver cannot know if the PHY has initialized with Auto-MDIX enabled or disabled, preventing it from providing a reliable interface to the user. This patch introduces a `config_init` hook that forces the PHY into a known state by explicitly enabling Auto-MDIX.
