net: phylink: Force retrigger in case of latched link-fail indicator
On mv88e6xxx 1G/2.5G PCS, the SerDes register 4.2001.2 has the following description: This register bit indicates when link was lost since the last read. For the current link status, read this register back-to-back. Thus to get current link state, we need to read the register twice. But doing that in the link change interrupt handler would lead to potentially ignoring link down events, which we really want to avoid. Thus this needs to be solved in phylink's resolve, by retriggering another resolve in the event when PCS reports link down and previous link was up, and by re-reading PCS state if the previous link was down. The wrong value is read when phylink requests change from sgmii to 2500base-x mode, and link won't come up. This fixes the bug.
