When .adjust_link() gets called, it runs in thread context, with the phydev->lock held. We only need to protect the fep->fecp/fccp/sccp register that are accessed within the .restart() function from concurrent access from the interrupts. These registers are being protected by the fep->lock spinlock, so we can move the spinlock protection around the .restart() call instead of the entire adjust_link() call. By doing so, we can simplify further the .adjust_link() callback and avoid the intermediate helper.

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 reStructuredText 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.
