Subject: [PATCH] mvneta: dont call mvneta_adjust_link() manually


mvneta_adjust_link() is a callback for of_phy_connect() and should
not be called directly. The result of calling it directly is as below:
---
 mvneta f1030000.ethernet eth1: Link is Up - Unsupported (update p
hy.c)/Half - flow control off
---

This is because initially the struct phy_device is created with
invalid parameters. phylib calls adjust_link() only when the parameters
are validated, but calling it by hands may happen too early.
