The only PHYs that are used with phylink which change their interface are the BCM84881 and MV88X3310 family, both of which only change their interface modes on link-up events. However, rather than relying upon this behaviour by the PHY, we should give a stronger guarantee when resolving that the link will be down whenever we change the interface mode. This patch implements that stronger guarantee for resolve. Signed-off-by: Russell King <redacted>
