[ Upstream commit b63263555e ]
The phylink_expects_phy() function allows MAC drivers to check if they are
expecting a PHY to attach. The checking condition in phylink_expects_phy()
aims to achieve the same result as the checking condition in
phylink_attach_phy().
However, the checking condition in phylink_expects_phy() uses
pl->link_config.interface, while phylink_attach_phy() uses
pl->link_interface.
Initially, both pl->link_interface and pl->link_config.interface are set
to SGMII, and pl->cfg_link_an_mode is set to MLO_AN_INBAND.
When the interface switches from SGMII to 2500BASE-X,
pl->link_config.interface is updated by phylink_major_config().
At this point, pl->cfg_link_an_mode remains MLO_AN_INBAND, and
pl->link_config.interface is set to 2500BASE-X.
Subsequently, when the STMMAC interface is taken down
administratively and brought back up, it is blocked by
phylink_expects_phy().
Since phylink_expects_phy() and phylink_attach_phy() aim to achieve the
same result, phylink_expects_phy() should check pl->link_interface,
which never changes, instead of pl->link_config.interface, which is
updated by phylink_major_config().

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.
