When a port is configured with 'managed = "in-band-status"' switch chips like the 88E6390 need to propagate the SERDES link state to the MAC because the link state is not correctly detected. This causes problems on the 88E6185/88E6097 where the link partner won't see link state changes because we're forcing the link. To address this introduce a new device specific op port_sync_link() and push the logic from mv88e6xxx_mac_link_up() into that. Provide an implementation for the 88E6185 like devices which doesn't force the link.

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.
