Subject: [PATCH 3.16 321/410] e1000e: Fix check_for_link return value with
 autoneg off

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 4e7dc08e57c95673d2edaba8983c3de4dd1f65f5 upstream.

When autoneg is off, the .check_for_link callback functions clear the
get_link_status flag and systematically return a "pseudo-error". This means
that the link is not detected as up until the next execution of the
e1000_watchdog_task() 2 seconds later.

Fixes: 19110cfbb34d ("e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up")
