[PATCH net-next 0/3] net: phy: phylink: ensure the carrier is off when starting phylink

Hi Russell,

Following the discussion we had regarding the phylink issue related to
the carrier link state not being off when starting phylink, I sent a fix
patch a few days ago for the PPv2 driver:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/14/633

The idea was to send a patch which could go to the stable branches, but
a better solution would be to directly call netif_carrier_off() from
within phylink_start(). This is the aim of this series.

Thanks!
Antoine
