net: bcmgenet: Workaround for Pi 4B network issue
Some combinations of Pi 4Bs and Ethernet switches don't reliably get a DCHP-assigned IP address, leaving the unit with a self=assigned 169.254 address. Forcing renegotiation has been found to be an effective workaround, so add an automatic renegotiation after the link comes up for the first time. For users and applications that need to minimise boot time, add a module parameter (genet.force_reneg) to control the renegotiation step - by default it is enabled.
