[ Upstream commit b63263555eaafbf9ab1a82f2020bbee872d83759 ]
The phylink_expects_phy() function allows MAC drivers to check if they are expecting a PHY to attach. The checking condition in phylink_expects_phy() aims to achieve the same result as the checking condition in phylink_attach_phy().
However, the checking condition in phylink_expects_phy() uses pl->link_config.interface, while phylink_attach_phy() uses pl->link_interface.
Initially, both pl->link_interface and pl->link_config.interface are set to SGMII, and pl->cfg_link_an_mode is set to MLO_AN_INBAND.
When the interface switches from SGMII to 2500BASE-X, pl->link_config.interface is updated by phylink_major_config(). At this point, pl->cfg_link_an_mode remains MLO_AN_INBAND, and pl->link_config.interface is set to 2500BASE-X. Subsequently, when the STMMAC interface is taken down administratively and brought back up, it is blocked by phylink_expects_phy().
Since phylink_expects_phy() and phylink_attach_phy() aim to achieve the same result, phylink_expects_phy() should check pl->link_interface, which never changes, instead of pl->link_config.interface, which is updated by phylink_major_config().
