Subject: [PATCH 2/2] net: phy: ensure autoneg is configured when resuming a phydev

When a PHY_HALTED phydev is resumed by phy_start(), it is set to
PHY_RESUMING to wait for the link to come up.

However, if the phydev was put to PHY_HALTED (by e.g. phy_stop()) before
autonegotiation was ever started by phy_state_machine(), autonegotiation
remains unconfigured, i.e. phy_config_aneg() is never called.

Fix that by going to PHY_UP instead of PHY_RESUMING if autonegotiation
has never been configured.

This doesn't feel as clean is I'd like to, though. Maybe there is a
better way?
