PHY_CONTROL register works as defined in the IEEE 802.3 specification
(IEEE 802.3-2008 22.2.4.1). Tidy up the temporary workaround.
User impact: PHY can now be powered down when the ethernet link is down.
Testing hints: ip link set down <device> (or just disconnect the
ethernet cable).
Oldest tested NVM version is: 1045:740.
Fixes: 5586838fe9 ("igc: Add code for PHY support")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
