If in-band negotiation or fixed-link modes are specified for a DSA
port, the DSA code will force the link down during initialisation. For
fixed-link mode, this is fine, as phylink will manage the link state.
However, for in-band mode, phylink expects the PCS to detect link,
which will not happen if the link is forced down.
There is a related issue that in in-band mode, the link could come up
while we are making configuration changes, so we should force the link
down prior to reconfiguring the interface mode.
This patch addresses both issues.

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.
