Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/1] net: dsa: fix fixed-link port registration

Commit 88d6272acaaa ("net: phy: avoid unneeded MDIO reads in
genphy_read_status") broke fixed link DSA port registration in
dsa_port_fixed_link_register_of: the genphy_read_status does not do what
it is supposed to and the following adjust_link is given wrong
parameters.

This causes a regression on Turris Omnia, where the mvneta driver for
the interface connected to the switch reports crc errors, for some
reason.

I realize this fix is not ideal, something else could change in genphy
functions which could cause DSA fixed-link port to break again.
Hopefully DSA fixed-link port functionality will be converted to phylink
API soon.
