In bnxt_update_phy_setting(), ethtool_get_link_ksettings() and bnxt_disable_an_for_lpbk(), we inconsistently use netif_carrier_ok() to determine link. Instead, we should use bp->link_info.link_up which has the true link state. The netif_carrier state may be off during self-test and while the device is being reset and may not always reflect the true link state. By always using bp->link_info.link_up, the code is now more consistent and more correct. Some unnecessary link toggles are now prevented with this patch.

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.
