Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/2] phylink resolve fixes

With information from me and my nagging, Russell has produced two fixes
for phylink, which add code that triggers another phylink_resolve() from
phylink_resolve(), if certain conditions are met:
  interface is being changed
or
  link is down and previous link was up
These are needed because sometimes the PCS callbacks may provide stale
values if link / speed / ...

Changes from v1:
- set Russell as author of the commits, since I only wrote the commit
  messages
- updated the second patch according to Russell's comment (and updated
  commit message)

Russell King (Oracle) (2):
  net: phylink: Force link down and retrigger resolve on interface
    change
  net: phylink: Force retrigger in case of latched link-fail indicator
