    net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fix in-band AN link establishment · fad58190
    Russell King authored
    If in-band negotiation or fixed-link modes are specified for a DSA
    port, the DSA code will force the link down during initialisation. For
    fixed-link mode, this is fine, as phylink will manage the link state.
    However, for in-band mode, phylink expects the PCS to detect link,
    which will not happen if the link is forced down.
    
    There is a related issue that in in-band mode, the link could come up
    while we are making configuration changes, so we should force the link
    down prior to reconfiguring the interface mode.
    
    This patch addresses both issues.
