Drop NETDEV_LED_MODE_LINKUP from mode list and convert to a simple bool
that will be true or false based on the carrier link. No functional
change intended.
The last time I tried this, I did it for all the fields that are now in
the bitmap, and I was told that the bitmap guarantees atomic access, so
it should be used...

But why do you needs this? I guess I will see in another patch.
I agree with Marek here. The commit message says what you have done,
which is not very useful, i can read the patch. What it should include
is why you have made this change. The why is very important in the
commit message.
