> phy_start_aneg():
> Return -EBUSY and print warning if function is called from a non-started
> state (DOWN, READY, HALTED). Better check because function is exported
> and drivers may use it incorrectly.
> 
> phy_interrupt():
> Return IRQ_NONE also if state is DOWN or READY. We should never receive
> an interrupt in one of these states, but better play safe.
> 
> phy_stop():
> Just return and print a warning if PHY is in a non-started state.
> This warning should help to identify drivers with unbalanced calls to
> phy_start() / phy_stop().
> 
> phy_state_machine():
> Schedule state machine run only if PHY is in a started state.
> E.g. if state is READY we don't need the state machine, it will be
> started by phy_start().

> v2:
> - don't use __func__ within phy_warn_state
> v3:
> - use WARN() instead of printing error message to facilitate debugging
