that's different and correct. The lpa value is not exported as lp_advertising,
but only used internal. Well the bug here is IMHO, that it doesn't
export lpa to lp_advertising at all as it's done in genphy_read_status().
And from a quick grep there are more phy drivers doing that...
I'll have a look later.
