Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 4/9] e1000e: ensure the link state is correct for
	serdes links

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

This patch ensures that the link state (as reported in
mac->serdes_has_link) will transition to false when autoneg fails to
complete but valid codewords were detected.
