Subject: [RFC] net: phy: read link status twice when phy_check_link_status()
According to the datasheet of Marvell phy and Realtek phy, the
copper link status should read twice, or it may get a fake link
up status, and cause up->down->up at the first time when link up.
This happens more oftem at Realtek phy.
I add a fake status read, and can solve this problem.
I also see that in genphy_update_link(), had delete the fake
read in polling mode, so I don't know whether my solution is
correct.
Or provide a phydev->drv->read_status functions for the phy I
used is more acceptable?
