The BMCR.RESET bit on the Marvell PHYs has a special meaning in that it commits the register writes into the HW for it to latch and be configured appropriately. Doing software resets causes link drops, and this is unnecessary disruption if nothing changed. Determine from marvell_set_polarity()'s return code whether the register value was changed and if it was, propagate that to the logic that hits the software reset bit. This avoids doing unnecessary soft reset if the PHY is configured in the same state it was previously, this also eliminates the need for a m88e1111_config_aneg() function since it now is the same as marvell_config_aneg().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
