The issue happened randomly in runtime.  The message "Link is Down" is
popped but soon it recovered to "Link is Up".

The "Link is Down" results from the incorrect read data for reading the
PHY register via MDIO bus.  The correct sequence for reading the data
shall be:
1. fire the command
2. wait for command done (this step was missing)
3. wait for data idle
4. read data from data register
I consulted the datasheet and it doesn't mention this. Perhaps
something to be added?

Fixes: a9770eac511a ("net: mdio: Move MDIO drivers into a new subdirectory")
I think this should be:

Fixes: f160e99462c6 ("net: phy: Add mdio-aspeed")

We should cc stable too.
