Set the RMII enable bit when an AST2700 port uses RMII so the MAC is
programmed for the selected interface mode. Describe the requirement as
a match-data quirk instead of checking the MAC generation in the data
path, allowing later compatible controllers to opt into the behavior.

phydev is always populated by the time this runs: ftgmac100_start_hw()
is only reached once the device has been opened, and
ftgmac100_probe_dt() always attaches a phy_device before
register_netdev() can succeed -- via a discrete PHY ("phy-handle"), a
"fixed-link" node, or NC-SI's internal fixed 100Mbit PHY
(ftgmac100_probe_ncsi()). Any failure in that setup aborts probe before
register_netdev(), so an opened AST2700 netdev always has phydev set.
This mirrors the same assumption ftgmac100_reset_and_config_mac()
already makes for every Aspeed SoC earlier in the open path.
