Alexey Simakov 70e23c094d broadcom: b44: prevent uninitialized value usage
[ Upstream commit 50b3db3e11 ]

On execution path with raised B44_FLAG_EXTERNAL_PHY, b44_readphy()
leaves bmcr value uninitialized and it is used later in the code.

Add check of this flag at the beginning of the b44_nway_reset() and
exit early of the function with restarting autonegotiation if an
external PHY is used.

Fixes: 753f492093 ("[B44]: port to native ssb support")
