Re: [PATCH net] net: phylink: initialise link_state before a forced major config

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)

phylink_resolve() leaves link_state on the stack unpopulated on its
disable and link-failed branches, which set only link_state.link.
phylink_apply_manual_flow() then reads the struct's advertising on
every mode but MLO_AN_FIXED, and has done so since long before
force_major_config existed.

force_major_config turns that into a write to the hardware. It is the
only trigger for the major-config block that does not require
mac_config, so phylink_major_config() programs the MAC for whatever
the stack held, a zeroed interface is PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, and the
write-back stores it in pl->link_config.interface.
