Commit a274465cc3be ("net: phy: support 'active-high' property for PHY
LEDs") added PHY_LED_ACTIVE_HIGH but did not cover qca808x, so
qca808x_led_polarity_set() returns -EINVAL for it. phy_probe() propagates
that, leaving the mdio device unbound and phy_attach_direct() falling back
to the genphy driver.
Accepting the mode alone is not enough: led_polarity_mode records
active_low, so an explicit 'active-high' node stores 0, while
qca808x_config_init() re-asserts QCA808X_LED_ACTIVE_HIGH only for -1. The
bit does not survive the reset phy_init_hw() runs first, so the LED would
come up active-low.

Supersedes [PATCH net v3 3/3] (20260908105959.70453-4-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com);
1/3 and 2/3 are in mainline. Andrew Lunn's Reviewed-by on v3 3/3 is dropped --
this changes behavior.
Compile-tested only (W=1, sparse). I have no QCA808x hardware, and there is no
KUnit suite or MDIO mock under drivers/net/phy to exercise the MMD7 write
without it.
