If we detect a MDIO error, it seems to be a little bit too aggressive
to stop the state machine and bring down the PHY completely.
E.g. when polling and we miss one update, then this has no relevant
impact.

David, could you please wait with applying this? I should have marked
it RFC (did so in patchwork meanwhile), need to discuss it with
Andrew and Florian.

Ok.

I'd like to kindly ask that you not modify patchwork state even for your
own changes, and let me take care of it.

When the patch state changes behind my back it's confusing and I start
wondering if I made a mistake changing the state of patches in my queue.

Thanks.
