RTL838x devices cannot reboot if the flash controller is driven in
4 byte mode. Unitl fdc3776 ("realtek: pcs: fix PLL_CML_CTRL for
serdes 0/1") this bit was luckily cleared by a coding error. Since
then the device cannot be rebooted anymore.

Looking at the SDK one can see that this bit is reset short before
the reboot happens. But we might need that in critical situations
where there is no chance to do it right in time. As the RTL838x
always ran with the bit disabled restore the old behaviour. This
time implement it as a documented quirk so it does not get lost.
