[ Upstream commit ef63461caf427a77a04620d74ba90035a712af9c ]
Phylink does not want the current state of the link when reading the
PCS link state - it wants the latched state. Don't double-read the
MII status register. Phylink will re-read as necessary to capture
transient link-down events as of dbae3388ea9c ("net: phylink: Force
retrigger in case of latched link-fail indicator").
The above referenced commit is a dependency for this change, and thus
this change should not be backported to any kernel that does not
contain the above referenced commit.

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.
