Add a tristate property to advertise desired transmit level.

If the device supports the 2.4 Vpp operating mode for 10BASE-T1L,
as defined in 802.3gc, and the 2.4 Vpp transmit voltage operation
is desired, property should be set to 1. This property is used
to select whether Auto-Negotiation advertises a request to
operate the 10BASE-T1L PHY in increased transmit level mode.

If property is set to 1, the PHY shall advertise a request
to operate the 10BASE-T1L PHY in increased transmit level mode.
If property is set to zero, the PHY shall not advertise
a request to operate the 10BASE-T1L PHY in increased transmit level mode.

What happened to this one doing the same thing?:

I assume, it is for Auto Negotiate.

This one was not really synced with the IEEE 802.3 standard. According
to the standard, there is optional 10base-t1l specific 2.4 Vpp operating mode.
To be able to operate in this mode, HW should be designed to do so.
And other way around, if HW is designed for explosive environment, it
should never operate in 2.4 Vpp mode.
So, depending on this property, the ability of the link-partner and user
space configuration, we may allow to auto negotiate this mode.

The question is, should it actually be called "an-", since this property
should limit automatic and manual link configuration
