From: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaub...@physik.fu-berlin.de>

The AX88796B as installed on the X-Surf-100 does not recognize a MII reset
request if the previous write to the MII control register also was a reset
request. So a dummy write to the control register makes the soft reset in
the PHY initialization code work.
