Subject: [PATCH 4.9 65/96] e1000e: Fix e1000_check_for_copper_link_ich8lan return value.

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

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

From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@...e.com>

commit 4110e02eb45ea447ec6f5459c9934de0a273fb91 upstream.

e1000e_check_for_copper_link() and e1000_check_for_copper_link_ich8lan()
are the two functions that may be assigned to mac.ops.check_for_link when
phy.media_type == e1000_media_type_copper. Commit 19110cfbb34d ("e1000e:
Separate signaling for link check/link up") changed the meaning of the
return value of check_for_link for copper media but only adjusted the first
function. This patch adjusts the second function likewise.
