Restore PHY_BRCM_AUTO_PWRDWN_ENABLE, PHY_BRCM_DIS_TXCRXC_NOENRGY and PHY_BRCM_IDDQ_SUSPEND in bcmgenet_mii_probe(), reverting the downstream hunk that snuck into 7dd290a ("xhci: add quirk...") back in March 2022.

That hunk worked around raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom#417: on Pi 4B rev 1.1 only, the bootloader couldn't recover the PHY from IDDQ-SR after a kernel reboot. CM4 and newer Pi 4B revs were never affected. The rpi-eeprom fix shipped in April 2022 (release c68f0c06) and the issue was closed a month later.

With the bootloader fix ~4 years deployed, drop the kernel-side workaround and get back the "several hundreds of milliwatts" of idle power savings Florian quoted in the issue thread.

Needs testing on Pi 4B rev 1.1 (I only have one 1.2 at hand) + network booting.
