The system interface connection status register is not immediately correct upon line side link up. This results in the status being read as OFF and then transitioning to the correct host side link mode with a short delay. This causes the phylink framework passing the OFF status down to all MAC config drivers, resulting in the host side link being misconfigured, which in turn can lead to link flapping or complete packet loss in some cases. Mitigate this by periodically polling the register until it not showing the OFF state. This will be done every 1ms for 10ms, using the same poll/timeout as the processor intensive operation reads. If the phy is still expressing the OFF state after the timeout, then set the link to false and pass the NA interface mode onto the phylink framework.

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 reStructuredText 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.
