Please could you expand the commit message because i'm having trouble
following this.

phylink_fwnode_phy_connect() says:

	/* Fixed links and 802.3z are handled without needing a PHY */
	if (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_FIXED ||
	    (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_INBAND &&
	     phy_interface_mode_is_8023z(pl->link_interface)))
		return 0;

So your first statement is not true. It should be MLO_AN_INBAND
and phy_interface_mode_is_8023z.

Looking at the patch, there is no reference to MLO_AN_INBAND, or
managed = "in-band-status";
