commit 02d5fdbf4f2b8c406f7a4c98fa52aa181a11d733 upstream.
Background: Turris Omnia (Armada 385); eth2 (mvneta) connected to SFP bus;
SFP module is present, but no fiber connected, so definitely no carrier.
After booting, eth2 is down, but netdev LED trigger surprisingly reports
link active. Then, after "ip link set eth2 up", the link indicator goes
away - as I would have expected it from the beginning.
It turns out, that the default carrier state after netdev creation is
"carrier ok". Some ethernet drivers explicitly call netif_carrier_off
during probing, others (like mvneta) don't - which explains the current
behaviour: only when the device is brought up, phylink_start calls
netif_carrier_off.
Fix this for all drivers using phylink, by calling netif_carrier_off in
phylink_create.

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.
