No, on the Nucleo144 board, the captured strap values where often wrong. And
on th F767 additional even if the right value was captured, DHCP often did
not succeed, while on the F746 it always succeded with the right values
captured.

Luckily on the Nucleo144 boards, system reset NRST is connected to the Phy
reset via a 0 Ohm jumper. Even only removing the jumper and pulling up Phy
reset let the Nucleo Boards always start with the right strap values. The
problem with the F767 not succeedibg DHCP remains, in a test with 30 System
reset only in about half of the starts DHCP succeeded.

The negotiation mode values for the Lan8742 should be settable beside by the
strap values also with register settings. I will try that to save users from
the need to modify the board.
