[ Upstream commit 147792c395db870756a0dc87ce656c75ae7ab7e8 ]

When both eth interfaces with links up are added to a bridge or hsr
interface, ping fails if the link speed is not 1Gbps (e.g., 100Mbps).

The issue is seen because when switching to offload (bridge/hsr) mode,
prueth_emac_restart() restarts the firmware and clears DRAM with
memset_io(), setting all memory to 0. This includes PORT_LINK_SPEED_OFFSET
which firmware reads for link speed. The value 0 corresponds to
FW_LINK_SPEED_1G (0x00), so for 1Gbps links the default value is correct
and ping works. For 100Mbps links, the firmware needs FW_LINK_SPEED_100M
(0x01) but gets 0 instead, causing ping to fail. The function
emac_adjust_link() is called to reconfigure, but it detects no state change
(emac->link is still 1, speed/duplex match PHY) so new_state remains false
and icssg_config_set_speed() is never called to correct the firmware speed
value.

The fix resets emac->link to 0 before calling emac_adjust_link() in
prueth_emac_common_start(). This forces new_state=true, ensuring
icssg_config_set_speed() is called to write the correct speed value to
firmware memory.
