Adding support for tplink archer c5 v4 some problems arise:
1. Device use unsupported rtl8367s switch.
2. rtl8367s switch have non default 0 phy address at mii-bus (29).
3. rtl8367s switch is connected through unsupported extended interface 2.

The patches resolve these problems. Many info and sources were used from
forum topic [0]. Vendor driver and u-boot identify rtl8367s as RTL8367C
so I keep it.
All thease patches may be backported to previous release without changes

There are some review comments about this driver on GitHub PR#2174 [0]
Would you mind to check it out there?
(v2 patch could still be sent here on the mailing list)
