[PATCH v5 21/21] net/txgbe: fix temperature track for AML NIC

Previously, temperature tracking for the amlite NIC was handled by
firmware together with the hardware setup. However, the firmware-based
PHY configuration has proven to be unstable.

Re-add the temperature tracking function directly in the driver and
invoke it periodically to ensure the PHY remains calibrated. According
to the hardware recommendation, the tracking sequence should be run at
least every 100 ms to keep temperature drift within 5 °C. Considering
the software and hardware overhead, a 2-second interval is used as a
practical trade-off that still meets stability requirements while
minimizing performance impact.

The periodic tracking is implemented using a timer in the driver, and
the sequence itself is the same as the one originally performed during
link setup.
