I think that clearing link partner advertising info in
phy_start_aneg() is questionable. If advertising doesn't change
then phy_config_aneg() basically is a no-op. Instead we may have
to clear the link partner advertising info in genphy_read_lpa()
if aneg is disabled or aneg isn't completed (basically the same
as in genphy_c45_read_lpa()). Something like:
if (!phydev->autoneg_complete) { /* also covers case that aneg is disabled */
linkmode_zero(phydev->lp_advertising);
} else if (phydev->autoneg == AUTONEG_ENABLE) {
...
}
