I'm guessing 3.2.y needs this, too, since it also includes
v3.2-rc1~129^2~247 ("net/phy: add IC+ IP101A and support APS").

Here's a quick backport made by adjusting the context line to
use IP101A_APS_ON instead of IP101A_G_APS_ON.

Please include it in some later stable update if appropriate.

Thanks,
Jonathan

[ Upstream commit b3300146aa8efc5d3937fd33f3cfdc580a3843bc ]

This patch fixes Auto Power Saving configuration in ip101a_config_init
which was broken as there is no phy register write followed after
setting IP101A_APS_ON flag.

This patch also fixes the return value of ip101a_config_init.

Without this patch ip101a_config_init returns 2 which is not an error
accroding to IS_ERR and the mac driver will continue accessing 2 as
valid pointer to phy_dev resulting in memory fault.
