Subject: [PATCH net] amd-xgbe: fix the false linkup in xgbe_phy_status

In the event of a change in XGBE mode, the current auto-negotiation
needs to be reset and the AN cycle needs to be re-triggerred. However,
the current code ignores the return value of xgbe_set_mode(), leading to
false information as the link is declared without checking the status
register.

Fix this by propogating the mode switch status information to
xgbe_phy_status().
