Subject: [PATCH 4.2 29/30] mvneta: use inband status only when explicitly enabled

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@...t.ru>

[ Upstream commit f8af8e6eb95093d5ce5ebcc52bd1929b0433e172 in net-next tree,
  will be pushed to Linus very soon. ]

The commit 898b2970e2c9 ("mvneta: implement SGMII-based in-band link state
signaling") implemented the link parameters auto-negotiation unconditionally.
Unfortunately it appears that some HW that implements SGMII protocol,
doesn't generate the inband status, so it is not possible to auto-negotiate
anything with such HW.

This patch enables the auto-negotiation only if explicitly requested with
the 'managed' DT property.

This patch fixes the following regression:
