Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: phy: don't stop state machine in case of
 MDIO error

If we detect a MDIO error, it seems to be a little bit too aggressive
to stop the state machine and bring down the PHY completely.
E.g. when polling and we miss one update, then this has no relevant
impact.

Heiner Kallweit (2):
  net: phy: don't stop state machine in case of MDIO error
  net: fec: remove workaround to restart state machine on MDIO error
