4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mick Tarsel <mjtar...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit e876a8a7e9dd89dc88c12ca2e81beb478dbe9897 ]
State is initially reported as UNKNOWN. Before register call
netif_carrier_off(). Once the device is opened, call netif_carrier_on() in
order to set the state to UP.
