From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9de5d235b60a7cdfcdd5461e70c5663e713fde87 ] phy_restart_aneg() enables aneg in the PHY. That's not what we want if phydev->autoneg is disabled. In this case still update EEE advertisement register, but don't enable aneg and don't trigger an aneg restart.
