Or, else, prevented from being modified at a couple of
bits that were wrongly cleared before. That code is now
used by both autoneg and mdio modes, so clearing the
autoneg bits is not possible (and not needed).
Unfortunately I haven't checked if these bits are ever
properly initialized. They are not. :( I think my u-boot did
that for me, and for you - only for the first interface.

This was needed to properly update the MAC status
register. It wasn't used before my patch, because the
status was retrieved with MDIO, and even with my patch
it is used only for inbound status, but I felt it would be
good to have it properly updated in all cases, to avoid the
surprises in the future. AFAIK these bits are only mirrored
by the relevant bits in the status register, and nothing more.

I think it is a proper fix - adding a missing initialization.
Previously that initialization was hidden in a completely
unexpected place, from where I had to remove it, but
forgot to re-add elsewhere.

Thanks for your testing, I'll submit a patch in a few days.
