The driver does not explicitly configure the MAC duplex mode when
bringing the link up. As a result, the MAC may retain a stale duplex
setting from a previous link state, leading to duplex mismatches with
the link partner and degraded network performance.

Update lan743x_phylink_mac_link_up() to set or clear the MAC_CR_DPX_
bit according to the negotiated duplex mode.

This ensures the MAC configuration is consistent with the phylink
resolved state.
