[PATCH v2] net/axgbe: fix PHY auto-negotiation advertisement

Correct the programming of PHY auto-negotiation advertisement
registers.

AXGBE supports 10/100/1000BASE-T operation in full-duplex mode
only. Since half-duplex operation (CSMA/CD) is not supported by
the MAC, half-duplex capabilities are intentionally not
advertised. Only supported full-duplex and pause capabilities
are programmed into MII_ADVERTISE and MII_CTRL1000.

This ensures Clause 22 PHY registers are programmed according
to IEEE 802.3 and prevents advertising unsupported or
unintended capabilities.
