Even with the quirks in commit dabdaf0c (mcs7830: Fix link state
detection) there are still spurious link-down events for some chips
where the false link-down events count go over a few hundreds.
This patch takes a more conservative approach and only looks at
link-down events where the link-down state is not combined with other
states (e.g. half/full speed, pending frames in SRAM or TX status
information valid). In all other cases we assume the link is up.
Tested on MCS7830CV-DA (USB ID 9710:7830).
