net: phy: warn if phy_start is called from invalid state phy_start() should be called from states PHY_READY or PHY_HALTED only. Check for this to detect misbehaving drivers. Also the state machine should be started only when being called from one of the valid states. Some more background: For all invalid states phy_start() basically was a no-op. All it did was triggering a state machine run, but for all "running" states the poll loop was active anyway. And if called from PHY_DOWN, the state machine does nothing. v3: - extended commit message Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
