Re: [PATCH 1/2] net: phylib: add adjust_state callback to phy device

Allow phy drivers to take action when the core does its link adjustment.
No change for drivers that do not implement this callback.

So you're using this to reset the entire PHY via the reset bit in the
BMCR register when the link goes down.

But this is going to break things.

If the phy library previously programmed a non-autonegotiated static
link configuration into the BMCR register, your reset is going to
undo that.

Now the configuration phylib thinks the chip has and the one it
acutally does is out of sync.

I'm not applying these patches, sorry.
