In the past, all the configuration of SerDes and PHYs on the realtek
switches were done using u-boot (`rtk init`). But since RTL930x switched
to SerDes configuration under Linux, the SoC side is no longer using the
Realtek-proprietary variant of USXGMII. The communication to the RTL8261N
PHYs on those switches broke because of this incompatibility.
Enabling the full initialization on `CONFIG_MACH_REALTEK_RTL` converts also
the PHY side to the standard USXGMII and therefore ensures that both sides
speak the same dialect.
