u-boot/filogic: fix two defects in the Airoha PHY driver

[SuperKali]

Description

Two defects in the Airoha PHY driver carried by the filogic U-Boot patch. The speed path tests adv after reading MII_CTRL1000 into advgb, so a failed MDIO read gets shifted into the advertisement mask and can report a link the PHY never negotiated. The eMMC firmware loader ignores the result of the boot config restore, and a board left pointing at boot1 finds the PHY firmware there instead of BL2 on the next power cycle.

Both were found by CodeRabbit while reviewing #10678 and verified by hand.

How Has This Been Tested?

• bananapir4 U-Boot builds clean
• Not exercised at runtime. CONFIG_PHY_AIROHA is off on every board in this family today, so the driver is not compiled by any of them. The same two fixes are applied to the copy in board: add Banana Pi R3 Mini #10678, where the driver is compiled and the object links without warnings

• My code follows the style guidelines of this project
• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• My changes generate no new warnings

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added U-Boot support for Airoha EN8801S and EN8811H Ethernet PHYs.
  • Added configuration options for compatible PHY hardware and firmware loading from supported UBI, eMMC boot, and raw MTD sources.
  • Added PHY initialization, link-status detection, reset support, LED and polarity configuration, and firmware handling for compatible devices.
  • Unsupported firmware sources now report an error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The patch adds U-Boot support for Airoha EN8801S and EN8811H Ethernet PHYs. It adds driver integration, PHY access, firmware loading, reset, LED, polarity, link-status, and autonegotiation handling. It also improves EN8811H error reporting.

Airoha PHY support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
PHY driver implementation and corrections patch/u-boot/u-boot-filogic/160-net-phy-add-support-for-Airoha-ethernet-PHY-driver.patch	Adds EN8801S and EN8811H support, including firmware loading and PHY management. The EN8811H path reports eMMC restoration failures, returns -ETIMEDOUT when the PHY is not ready, and validates MII_CTRL1000 through advgb during autonegotiation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d6209

The PHY driver now reports restoration and readiness failures correctly and validates gigabit advertisement reads. No actionable merge risk remains.

successful blk_dread() firmware read, it captures the result of
mmc_set_part_conf(mmc, 1, 1, 0), frees firmware_buf, and returns the restore
error when restoration fails instead of only logging it; preserve the existing
success path when restoration succeeds.

Added the third fix, en8811h_startup returned 0 after the PHY ready timeout. Found by CodeRabbit on #10678 and mirrored here.
