Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 130/131] net: phy: fix PHY_RUNNING in phy_state_machine

3.16.7-ckt25 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Shaohui Xie <Shaohui.Xie@...escale.com>

commit 11e122cbe90ea5079622fb57bdf2dffe8cf68e57 upstream.

Currently, if phy state is PHY_RUNNING, we always register a CHANGE
when phy works in polling or interrupt ignored, this will make the
adjust_link being called even the phy link did Not changed.

checking the phy link to make sure the link did changed before we
register a CHANGE, if link did not changed, we do nothing.
