Introduce support for standard MII ioctl operations in the LAN865x
Ethernet driver by implementing the .ndo_eth_ioctl callback. This allows
PHY-related ioctl commands to be handled via phy_do_ioctl_running() and
enables support for ethtool and other user-space tools that rely on ioctl
interface to perform PHY register access using commands like SIOCGMIIREG
and SIOCSMIIREG.
This feature enables improved diagnostics and PHY configuration
capabilities from userspace.

This fixes an issue where the transmit queue is started implicitly only
the very first time the device is registered. When the device is taken
down and brought back up again (using `ip` or `ifconfig`), the transmit
queue is not restarted, causing packet transmission to hang.
Adding an explicit call to netif_start_queue() in lan865x_net_open()
ensures the transmit queue is properly started every time the device
is reopened.

The LAN8650/1 is designed to conform to the OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x
MAC-PHY Serial Interface specification, Version 1.1. The IEEE Clause 4
MAC integration provides the low pin count standard SPI interface to any
microcontroller therefore providing Ethernet functionality without
requiring MAC integration within the microcontroller. The LAN8650/1
operates as an SPI client supporting SCLK clock rates up to a maximum of
25 MHz. This SPI interface supports the transfer of both data (Ethernet
frames) and control (register access).
By default, the chunk data payload is 64 bytes in size. The Ethernet
Media Access Controller (MAC) module implements a 10 Mbps half duplex
Ethernet MAC, compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard. 10BASE-T1S
physical layer transceiver integrated is into the LAN8650/1. The PHY and
MAC are connected via an internal Media Independent Interface (MII).
