net: pcs: xpcs: remove double-read of link state when using AN
[ Upstream commit ef63461caf427a77a04620d74ba90035a712af9c ]
Phylink does not want the current state of the link when reading the
PCS link state - it wants the latched state. Don't double-read the
MII status register. Phylink will re-read as necessary to capture
transient link-down events as of dbae3388ea9c ("net: phylink: Force
retrigger in case of latched link-fail indicator").
The above referenced commit is a dependency for this change, and thus
this change should not be backported to any kernel that does not
contain the above referenced commit.
