Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] bnxt_en: Remove unnecessary call to update PHY settings.

From: Michael Chan <mchan@...adcom.com>

Fix bnxt_update_phy_setting() to check the correct parameters when
determining whether to update the PHY.  Requested line speed/duplex should
only be checked for forced speed mode.  This avoids unnecessary link
interruptions when loading the driver.
