ar71xx: add a workaround for ar8316 not always driving the TA bit to low
AR8316 behind a GPIO bitbanged MDIO bus fails to drive the turnaround bit to low despite returning a valid value. Ignore it and just use the returned value anyway. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@28422 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73
