Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 58/96] asix: Don't reset PHY on if_up for ASIX 88772

3.13.11-ckt30 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michel Stam <m.stam@...ro.nl>

[ Upstream commit 3cc81d85ee01e5a0b7ea2f4190e2ed1165f53c31 ]

I've noticed every time the interface is set to 'up,', the kernel
reports that the link speed is set to 100 Mbps/Full Duplex, even
when ethtool is used to set autonegotiation to 'off', half
duplex, 10 Mbps.
It can be tested by:
 ifconfig eth0 down
 ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half
 ifconfig eth0 up

Then checking 'dmesg' for the link speed.
