Subject: [PATCH 5.4 021/147] net: phy: fix aneg restart in phy_ethtool_set_eee

From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 9de5d235b60a7cdfcdd5461e70c5663e713fde87 ]

phy_restart_aneg() enables aneg in the PHY. That's not what we want
if phydev->autoneg is disabled. In this case still update EEE
advertisement register, but don't enable aneg and don't trigger an
aneg restart.
