net: phy: bcm84881: clear settings on link down
[ Upstream commit 796a8fa28980050bf1995617f0876484f3dc1026 ]
Clear the link partner advertisement, speed, duplex and pause when
the link goes down, as other phylib drivers do. This avoids the
stale link partner, speed and duplex settings being reported via
ethtool.
