From c69851e940bcdaf202d20ca7099145d9b7ec7368 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiner Kallweit Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2018 15:00:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: set link state to down when creating the phy_device Currently the link state is initialized to "up" when the phy_device is being created. This is not consistent with the phy state being initialized to PHY_DOWN. Usually this doen't do any harm because the link state is updated once the PHY reaches state PHY_AN. However e.g. if a LAN port isn't used and the PHY remains down this inconsistency remains and calls to functions like phy_print_status() give false results. Therefore change the initialization to link being down. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.
