I did this on purpose as I do want to store the link and later export it via
env as I get a patch here for 2 wifi driver where I'll not use the phylib

so store the carrier is the correct way

we could use a net_carrier(xx) as in the kernel to update the field but I do
need the carrier to not be manage only for the phylib

my work on thiose wifi driver is not finished but on the way maybe next
release

I was pissed off that this is based on my work and I lost the author of the
patch and no mention about my work
