This is not correct, there is no fake link up status.
Read the comment in genphy_update_link, only link-down events
are latched. Means if the first read returns link up, then there
is no need for a second read. And in polling mode we don't do a
second read because we want to detect also short link drops.
It would be helpful if you could describe your actual problem
and whether you use polling or interrupt mode.

This seems to be completely wrong at that place.
