[ Upstream commit 60f887b1290b43a4f5a3497982a725687b193fa4 ]
When a PHY is halted (e.g. `ip link set dev lan2 down`), several fields in struct phy_device may still reflect the last active connection. This leads to ethtool showing stale values even though the link is down.
Reset selected fields in _phy_state_machine() when transitioning to PHY_HALTED and the link was previously up:
- speed/duplex -> UNKNOWN, but only in autoneg mode (in forced mode these fields carry configuration, not status) - master_slave_state -> UNKNOWN if previously supported - mdix -> INVALID (state only, same meaning as "unknown") - lp_advertising -> always cleared
The cleanup is skipped if the PHY is in PHY_ERROR state, so the last values remain available for diagnostics.
