Oh, it's because setting that flag means we're wanting the PCS methods
rather than the legacy MAC methods for an_restart and getting the PCS
link state - so the patch in question was submitted too early (it
should have been _after_ the conversion to PCS.)

If we get the patch reverted in net-next, and then convert b53 to use
PCS support, we'll then be putting the patch back, so I wonder if it
would just make sense to apply the PCS conversion patch, possibly
adding a comment in the commit message pointing out that this fixes
the b53 legacy_pre_march2020 patch. Thoughts?
