By a phy_init() and phy_power_on() sequence.

In current mainline this is done by the fman_memac driver:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.18.6/source/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fman/fman_memac.c#L526-L545

In LF I've moved the phy_init()
https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/linux/blob/lf-6.12.y/drivers/net/pcs/pcs-lynx.c#L563
and phy_power_on()
https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/linux/blob/lf-6.12.y/drivers/net/pcs/pcs-lynx.c#L435
to the Lynx PCS driver to simplify MAC drivers a little bit, since they
all have to go through the same steps (the Lynx PCS is present in dpaa1,
dpaa2, enetc, felix switch).
