The phy_init_hw() function may reset the PHY to a configuration
that does not match manual network settings stored in the phydev
structure. If the phy state machine is polled rather than event
driven this can create a timing hazard where the phy state machine
might alter the settings stored in the phydev structure from the
value read from the BMCR.
This commit follows invocations of phy_init_hw() by the bcmgenet
driver with invocations of the genphy_config_aneg() function to
ensure that the BMCR is written to match the settings held in the
phydev structure. This prevents the risk of manual settings being
accidentally altered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
