Subject: ibmvnic: Set state UP
From: Mick Tarsel <mjtarsel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e876a8a7e9dd89dc88c12ca2e81beb478dbe9897 ]
State is initially reported as UNKNOWN. Before register call
netif_carrier_off(). Once the device is opened, call netif_carrier_on() in
order to set the state to UP.
