Even though the link is down before entering hibernation, there is an issue that the network interface always links up after resuming from hibernation. The phydev->state is PHY_READY before enabling the network interface, so the link is down. After resuming from hibernation, the phydev->state is forcibly set to PHY_UP in mdio_bus_phy_restore(), and the link becomes up. This patch expects to solve the issue by changing phydev->state to PHY_UP only when the link is up.

I agree that it isn't right to unconditionally set PHY_UP, because we don't know whether the PHY was started before hibernation. However I don't think using phydev->link as criteria is right. Example would be: PHY was started before hibernation, but w/o link. In this case we want to set PHY_UP to start an aneg, because a cable may have been plugged in whilst system was sleeping.Indeed. I didn't consider the case that the PHY was started but a cable was unplugged before hibernation.quoted

So I think, similar to phy_stop_machine, we should use state >= UP and state != HALTED as criteria, and also phy_start_machine() would need to be called only if this criteria is met. It may make sense to add a helper for checking whether PHY is in a started state (>=UP && !=HALTED), because we need this in more than one place.Agreed, that would make sense.I agree, too. I'll try this in v2 patch that changes the PHY state to PHY_UP and calls phy_start_machine(), only when the PHY was started before hibernation. If I understand correctly, it will be like that: phydev->link = 0;Even this may go into the if clause. If PHY isn't started then phydev->link should be 0 anyway.
Yes. To clarify more, this will go into the if clause.

if (phy_is_started(phydev)) { phydev->state = PHY_UP; phy_start_machine(phydev); }Yes, this is what was meant. Thanks.
