Correct the Auto-MDIX configuration to ensure userspace settings are
respected when the feature is disabled by the AUTOMDIX_EN hardware strap.
The LAN9500 PHY allows its default MDI-X mode to be configured via a
hardware strap. If this strap sets the default to "MDI-X off", the
driver was previously unable to enable Auto-MDIX from userspace.
When handling the ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO case, the driver would set the
SPECIAL_CTRL_STS_AMDIX_ENABLE_ bit but neglected to set the required
SPECIAL_CTRL_STS_OVRRD_AMDIX_ bit. Without the override flag, the PHY
falls back to its hardware strap default, ignoring the software request.
This patch corrects the behavior by also setting the override bit when
enabling Auto-MDIX. This ensures that the userspace configuration takes
precedence over the hardware strap, allowing Auto-MDIX to be enabled
correctly in all scenarios.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
