From 16319a7d31b5df881ab61c9a9e8b4265355d157f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:04:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: phylink: ensure link is down when changing interface The only PHYs that are used with phylink which change their interface are the BCM84881 and MV88X3310 family, both of which only change their interface modes on link-up events. However, rather than relying upon this behaviour by the PHY, we should give a stronger guarantee when resolving that the link will be down whenever we change the interface mode. This patch implements that stronger guarantee for resolve. Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: David S.
