Subject: What's the expected path to recover from a PHY_HALTED transition?

hi,

I'm debugging an issue on the Broadcom parts (using unimac-mdio.c as
the mdio bus) where i occasionally see MDIO bus read failures, which
causes phy.c to transition the PHY to PHY_HALTED. It stays in this
state until the link is bounced.

So, what's the expectation to handle this and recover from it? is
there some userland piece monitoring things that I'm missing?

Thanks,
