net: phy: microchip: Reset LAN88xx PHY to ensure clean link state on LAN7800/7850

Fix outdated MII_LPA data in the LAN88xx PHY, which is used in LAN7800
and LAN7850 USB Ethernet controllers. Due to a hardware limitation, the
PHY cannot reliably update link status after parallel detection when the
link partner does not support auto-negotiation. To mitigate this, add a
PHY reset in `lan88xx_link_change_notify()` when `phydev->state` is
`PHY_NOLINK`, ensuring the PHY starts in a clean state and reports
accurate fixed link parallel detection results.
