====================
net: phy: improve and simplify phylib state machine
This patch series is based on two axioms:
- During autoneg a PHY always reports the link being down
- Info in clause 22/45 registers doesn't allow to differentiate between
these two states:
1. Link is physically down
2. A link partner is connected and PHY is autonegotiating
In both cases "link up" and "aneg finished" bits aren't set.
One consequence is that having separate states PHY_NOLINK and PHY_AN
isn't needed.
By using these two axioms the state machine can be significantly
simplified.
