Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:

1. When the reference clock is turned off after a PERET# assertion interrupt or a reference clock off interrupt, the CPU never accesses the MAC register until the PIPE clock is restored after PERST# de-assertion.
2. PHY reset during Hot Reset or Link Disabled is not mandatory, so this process can be skipped. This measure shortens the transition time from Detect to Polling.Active from 70 ms to about 10 ms.
3. Added flag to prevent DRAM Self Refresh from being triggered.
4. Once a specific Block has been marked as a bad block that is not to be used, an erase error on the bad block will not cause the Block Erase operation to fail.

Enhancements:
