phy: micrel: Disable auto negotiation on startup
[ Upstream commit 99f81afc139c6edd14d77a91ee91685a414a1c66 ]
Disable auto negotiation on init to properly detect an already plugged
cable at boot.
At boot, when the phy is started, it is in the PHY_UP state.
However, if a cable is plugged at boot, because auto negociation is already
enabled at the time we get the first interrupt, the phy is already running.
But the state machine then switches from PHY_UP to PHY_AN and calls
phy_start_aneg(). phy_start_aneg() will not do anything because aneg is
already enabled on the phy. It will then wait for a interrupt before going
further. This interrupt will never happen unless the cable is unplugged and
then replugged.
It was working properly before 321beec5047a (net: phy: Use interrupts when
available in NOLINK state) because switching to NOLINK meant starting
polling the phy, even if IRQ were enabled.
Fixes: 321beec5047a (net: phy: Use interrupts when available in NOLINK state)
