Joakim Zhang reports that Wake-on-Lan with the stmmac ethernet driver broke when moving the incorrect handling of mac link state out of mac_config(). This reason this breaks is because the stmmac's WoL is handled by the MAC rather than the PHY, and phylink doesn't cater for that scenario. This patch adds the necessary phylink code to handle suspend/resume events according to whether the MAC still needs a valid link or not. This is the barest minimum for this support.

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.
