3.2.100-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@xxxxxxxx> commit 4110e02eb45ea447ec6f5459c9934de0a273fb91 upstream. e1000e_check_for_copper_link() and e1000_check_for_copper_link_ich8lan() are the two functions that may be assigned to mac.ops.check_for_link when phy.media_type == e1000_media_type_copper. Commit 19110cfbb34d ("e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up") changed the meaning of the return value of check_for_link for copper media but only adjusted the first function. This patch adjusts the second function likewise.
