[RFC PATCH net v2] net: phy: Fix the issue that netif always links up after resuming

From: Kunihiko Hayashi
Date: Fri Nov 30 2018 - 04:25:36 EST


Even though the link is down before entering hibernation,
there is an issue that the network interface always links up after resuming
from hibernation.

The phydev->state is PHY_READY before enabling the network interface, so
the link is down. After resuming from hibernation, the phydev->state is
forcibly set to PHY_UP in mdio_bus_phy_restore(), and the link becomes up.

This patch adds a new convenient function to check whether the PHY is in
a started state, and expects to solve the issue by changing phydev->state
to PHY_UP and calling phy_start_machine() only when the PHY is started.
