The PHY performs just as well when left in its default configuration and
it makes senses because this poke gets reset just after init.

According to the documentation, all registers in the Analog/DSP bank are
reset when there is a mode switch from 10BT to 100BT.

In the end, we have used the default configuration so far and there is no
reason to change now. Remove CONFIG_A6 poke to make this clear.

Out of curiosity, I tried to re-apply the ANALOG/DSP settings on speed
changes (patch available here [0] if someone wants to try) but I did
not notice any change as a result. In the end, I thought it was safer
to keep on using the ANALOG settings we have been actually using so far,
everybody seems to be happy with them

The only thing which might speak against this, is some bootloader
which sets something other than the default, and here we put it back
to the value it should have. But if you say a reset will put it back
to the default value anyway, this seems save.

I was worried about this too bu the bank also gets reset on power down and soft
reset, so we won't get bootloader value at this point
