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.
