Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/7] net/faraday: Avoid PHYSTS_CHG interrupt

From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Bit#11 in MACCR (0x50) designates the signal level for PHY link
status change. It's cleared, meaning high level enabled, by default.
However, we can see continuous interrupt (bit#6) in ISR (0x0) for it
and it's obviously a false alarm. The side effect is CPU cycles wasted
to process the false alarm.

This sets bit#11 in MACCR (0x50) to avoid the bogus interrupt.
