With the previous patch an 'active-high' LED node is accepted, so
led_polarity_mode can now hold 0. qca808x_config_init() only re-asserts
QCA808X_LED_ACTIVE_HIGH when the mode is -1, the value that means device
tree asked for nothing, so an explicit active-high does not reach the
register.
That matters because the bit does not survive a reset. phy_init_hw() runs
.soft_reset before .config_init on every attach and resume, and
commit f203c8c77c76 ("net: phy: qcom: qca808x: default to LED active High if not set")
records why: "on PHY reset, the Active High bit is not set resulting in
the LED driven as active-low". The polarity written from device tree
during phy_probe() is therefore gone by the time the link comes up, and
the LED runs inverted.
Re-assert the bit for anything other than an explicit active-low, which
is the one case that wants it clear and gets that from the reset for
free. Name the unset value while here: led_polarity_mode otherwise
holds a PHY_LED_ACTIVE_* value, so spelling the comparison
PHY_LED_ACTIVE_LOW says what it means where -1, 0 and 1 did not.

Tested in QEMU against a synthetic MDIO bus answering as a QCA8081, with
the reset clearing BIT(6). With only 1/2 applied an 'active-high' node
comes up inverted; see the cover letter.
