[PATCH iwl-next v9 03/14] net: ethtool: mm: reset verification status when link is down

From: Faizal Rahim
Date: Sun Mar 09 2025 - 06:48:46 EST


When the link partner goes down, "ethtool --show-mm" still displays
"Verification status: SUCCEEDED," reflecting a previous state that is
no longer valid.

Reset the verification status to ensure it reflects the current state.
