lynx_pcs_link_up_sgmii() is supposed to update the PCS speed and duplex for the non-inband operating modes, and prior to the blamed commit, it did just that, but a mistake sneaked into the conversion and reversed the condition. It is easy for this to go undetected on platforms that also initialize the PCS in the bootloader, because Linux doesn't reset it (although maybe it should). The nature of the bug is that phylink will not touch the IF_MODE_HALF_DUPLEX | IF_MODE_SPEED_MSK fields when it should, and it will apparently keep working if the previous values set by the bootloader were correct.

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.
