This is the source of the concern, we don't know which MAC drivers we might
end-up breaking by calling adjust_link(link == 1) twice in a row, hopefully
none, because they should be well written to only update the parameters that
need updating, but who knows?
Just quickly... There are some (I went through a bunch.) They don't
support EEE. I haven't been through all though, so there could be
some which support EEE and where adjust_link() with phydev->link=true
twice in a row could result in badness.
