Subject: [PATCH 4.14 144/159] ibmvnic: Set state UP

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

------------------

From: Mick Tarsel <mjtarsel@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>


[ Upstream commit e876a8a7e9dd89dc88c12ca2e81beb478dbe9897 ]

State is initially reported as UNKNOWN. Before register call
netif_carrier_off(). Once the device is opened, call netif_carrier_on() in
order to set the state to UP.
