Subject: [PATCH 4.18 128/150] net: bcmgenet: Poll internal PHY for GENETv5

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

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

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 64bd9c8135751b561f27edaaffe93d07093f81af ]

On GENETv5, there is a hardware issue which prevents the GENET hardware
from generating a link UP interrupt when the link is operating at
10Mbits/sec. Since we do not have any way to configure the link
detection logic, fallback to polling in that case.
