This is why the Commit message should contain the answer to 'Why?'.
The code tells us 'What', but without knowing the 'Why', it is hard to
say if you are doing the right or wrong thing.

O.K. so the signal is also connected to the SoC. Why? This is very
unusual. The MAC does not really care if there is link or not, it just
sends a bitstream to the PHY. phylib will be monitoring the PHY and
when it detects the link is down it will tell the MAC via the
adjust_link callback.

What SoC is this?

Agreed.
