Subject: phy_connect_direct problem

Hi,

I'm in the process of converting an ethernet driver to using the PHY 
layer, but ran into a problem where my adjust_state handler was never 
called and the link did not go up ...

I use phy_connect to connect the PHY device with my ethernet driver. In 
phy_connect_direct I found the following code: 	

phy_prepare_link(phydev, handler);
phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL);

So first the adjust_state is set to handler by phy_prepare_link and then 
it is overwritten with the NULL parameter passed to phy_start_machine.

Maybe I'm abusing the PHY layer somehow since there are plenty of other 
drivers using this interface. However the patch below solved the issue 
for me.

Best regards,
Kristoffer Glembo
