    net: phy: dp83867: enable robust auto-mdix · 5a7f08c2

    The link detection timeouts can be observed (or link might not be detected
    at all) when dp83867 PHY is configured in manual mode (speed/duplex).
    
    CFG3[9] Robust Auto-MDIX option allows to significantly improve link detection
    in case dp83867 is configured in manual mode and reduce link detection
    time.
    As per DM: "If link partners are configured to operational modes that are
    not supported by normal Auto MDI/MDIX mode (like Auto-Neg versus Force
    100Base-TX or Force 100Base-TX versus Force 100Base-TX), this Robust Auto
    MDI/MDIX mode allows MDI/MDIX resolution and prevents deadlock."
    
    Hence, enable this option by default as there are no known reasons
    not to do so.
