net: phy: phylink: ensure the carrier is off when starting phylink
Following the discussion we had regarding the phylink issue related to
the carrier link state not being off when starting phylink, I sent a fix
patch a few days ago for the PPv2 driver:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/14/633
The idea was to send a patch which could go to the stable branches, but
a better solution would be to directly call netif_carrier_off() from
within phylink_start(). This is the aim of this series.
