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.
An 'active-low' node needs nothing here: the bit is clear after the reset,
which is the polarity it asks for.

v2:
- No code change. Rebased onto net/main.
- Cc Rosen Penev and Christian Marangi, per Andrew Lunn -- they may have
QCA808x hardware. Christian wrote f203c8c77c76 ("net: phy: qcom:
qca808x: default to LED active High if not set"), the default this
patch extends. If either of you can put an 'active-high' LED node on
a QCA8081 and confirm the LED comes up the right way round, I would
appreciate it.
- Say why an 'active-low' node needs nothing in qca808x_config_init().
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260912012819.2072067-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com/ (local)
- Supersedes [PATCH net v3 3/3],
20260908105959.70453-4-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com, whose
Reviewed-by from Andrew Lunn is dropped: that version only accepted
the mode, this one also makes it survive the reset.
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.
