From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit aa6b1956158f1afc52761137620d4b3f8a058d24 ] In phy_start_aneg() autoneg is started, and immediately after that link and autoneg status are read. As reported in [0] it can happen that at time of this read the PHY has reset the "aneg complete" bit but not yet the "link up" bit, what can result in a false link-up detection. To fix this don't report link as up if we're in aneg mode and PHY doesn't signal "aneg complete".
