Subject: [PATCH net-next 05/17] net: hns: bug fix about restart auto-negotiation

From: Daode Huang <huangdaode@...ilicon.com>

When set auto-negotiation off and duplex half, if run "ethtool -r ethX"
on port with phy, then the port will be failed to work. It should
forbid to start auto-negotiation when auto-negotiate is off. This
patch add the limited condition.
