I had a closer look at the datasheet of this PHY, and these properties
for lan8841 are the same for ksz9131, so actually I can reuse the
function 'ksz9131_config_init', to remove some of the duplicated code.

In this case maybe is enough to add the following change in
'micrel-ksz90x1.txt' not to create a totally new section.

   All skew control options are specified in picoseconds. The increment
