Oleksij Rempel 7c0beeab3a net: phy: microchip: limit 100M workaround to link-down events on LAN88xx
[ Upstream commit dd4360c0e8504f2f7639c7f5d07c93cfd6a98333 ]

Restrict the 100Mbit forced-mode workaround to link-down transitions
only, to prevent repeated link reset cycles in certain configurations.

The workaround was originally introduced to improve signal reliability
when switching cables between long and short distances. It temporarily
forces the PHY into 10 Mbps before returning to 100 Mbps.

However, when used with autonegotiating link partners (e.g., Intel i350),
executing this workaround on every link change can confuse the partner
and cause constant renegotiation loops. This results in repeated link
down/up transitions and the PHY never reaching a stable state.

Limit the workaround to only run during the PHY_NOLINK state. This ensures
it is triggered only once per link drop, avoiding disruptive toggling
while still preserving its intended effect.

Note: I am not able to reproduce the original issue that this workaround
addresses. I can only confirm that 100 Mbit mode works correctly in my
test setup. Based on code inspection, I assume the workaround aims to
reset some internal state machine or signal block by toggling speeds.
However, a PHY reset is already performed earlier in the function via
phy_init_hw(), which may achieve a similar effect. Without a reproducer,
I conservatively keep the workaround but restrict its conditions.

README

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.
