4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f8af8e6eb95093d5ce5ebcc52bd1929b0433e172 in net-next tree, will be pushed to Linus very soon. ] The commit 898b2970e2c9 ("mvneta: implement SGMII-based in-band link state signaling") implemented the link parameters auto-negotiation unconditionally. Unfortunately it appears that some HW that implements SGMII protocol, doesn't generate the inband status, so it is not possible to auto-negotiate anything with such HW. This patch enables the auto-negotiation only if explicitly requested with the 'managed' DT property. This patch fixes the following regression: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/8/865 Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: David S.
