Oleksij Rempel 855cd3a0c4 net: phy: clear link parameters on admin link down
[ Upstream commit 60f887b1290b43a4f5a3497982a725687b193fa4 ]

When a PHY is halted (e.g. `ip link set dev lan2 down`), several
fields in struct phy_device may still reflect the last active
connection. This leads to ethtool showing stale values even though
the link is down.

Reset selected fields in _phy_state_machine() when transitioning
to PHY_HALTED and the link was previously up:

- speed/duplex -> UNKNOWN, but only in autoneg mode (in forced mode
  these fields carry configuration, not status)
- master_slave_state -> UNKNOWN if previously supported
- mdix -> INVALID (state only, same meaning as "unknown")
- lp_advertising -> always cleared

The cleanup is skipped if the PHY is in PHY_ERROR state, so the
last values remain available for diagnostics.

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.
