Subject: [net-next PATCH 0/2] net: phylink: Fix issue w/ BMC link flap

Address two issues found in the phylink code.

The first issue is the fact that there were unused defines that were
referencing deprecated macros themselves. Since they aren't used we might
as well drop them.

The second issue which is more the main reason for this submission is the
fact that the BMC was losing link when we would call phylink_resume. This
is fixed by adding a new boolean value link_balanced which will allow us
to avoid doing an immediate force of the link up/down and instead defer it
until after we have checked the actual link state.
