Subject: [net:r8169] kernel 4.0.0 double "link down" on boot

I see these double "link down" now in 4.0

[   19.927880] r8169 0000:03:00.2 eth0: link down
[   19.927902] r8169 0000:03:00.2 eth0: link down
[   22.328888] r8169 0000:03:00.2 eth0: link up

Everything seems to be working fine. Is this an indicator of a problem?
Safe to ignore? If so why?

These files seem to be implicated but I say so because they
contain "link down\n"

drivers/net/mii.c
drivers/net/ethernet/dnet.c

drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c

Does it make sense to check 3.19? I don't recall seeing these
there. Oh, I'm using rtl8411-1.fw, will try rtl8411-2.fw. 

Have a nice day!
