When a netdev is set up/down we need to set the phsyical link state accordingly. This patch adds that functionality by calling ice_force_phys_link_state(vsi, link_up) in both the ice_stop() and ice_open() paths. In order to force link, ice_force_phys_link_state(vsi, link_up) will first determine the current phy capabilities. If link has not changed there is nothing to do. If link has changed, previous PHY capabilities are saved and the "Enable Automatic Link Update" and "Link Establishment State Machine (LESM)" enable bits are set. Then the new PHY config is saved. The "Enable Automatic Link Update" will force the FW to execute Setup link and restart auto-negotiation. This *should* then result in a "Link Status Event (LSE)" which will cause the driver to get the current link status.

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.
