net: phy: bcm7xxx: workaround MDIO management controller initial read

The initial MDIO read or write towards the BCM7xxx integrated PHY may
fail, workaround this by inserting a dummy MII_BMSR read to force the
MDIO management controller to see at least one valid transaction and get
out of stuck state out of reset.
