Hi,
is a get_link method needed even if a driver informs the net core about media change events?

There are probably cases where it is not necessary to have a get_link supported though if the interface will appear as a normal network interface, it's probably best (a lot of userspace scripts will use the ethtool interface while bringing the interface up).
