Subject: [net 0/2][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-03-12

This series contains fixes to e1000e only.

Benjamin Poirier provides two fixes, first reverts commits that changed
what happens to the link status when there is an error.  These commits
were to resolve a race condition, but in the process of fixing the race
condition, they changed the behavior when an error occurred.  Second fix
resolves a race condition by not setting "get_link_status" to false
after checking the link.

The following are changes since commit a2c054a896b8ac794ddcfc7c92e2dc7ec4ed4ed5:
  net: phy: Tell caller result of phy_change()
and are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-queue 1GbE

Benjamin Poirier (2):
  Revert "e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up"
  e1000e: Fix link check race condition
