Subject: [PATCH 3.16 039/202] net/phy: micrel: Add workaround for bad autoneg

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

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

From: Nathan Sullivan <nathan.sullivan@...com>

commit d2fd719bcb0e83cb39cfee22ee800f98a56eceb3 upstream.

Very rarely, the KSZ9031 will appear to complete autonegotiation, but
will drop all traffic afterwards.  When this happens, the idle error
count will read 0xFF after autonegotiation completes.  Reset the PHY
when in that state.
