Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] net: phylib: add link_change_notify callback to phy device

From: Daniel Mack <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:01:41 +0200

Add a notify callback to inform phy drivers when the core is about to
do its link adjustment. No change for drivers that do not implement
this callback.
