Subject: [patch v2 06/11] DM9000: Use NSR to determine link-status on internal PHY

From: Ben Dooks <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 21:16:51 +0100

The DM9000_NSR register contains a copy of the internal PHY's
link status which we can use to determine if the link is up
or down. This eliminates the more costly (and sleeping) PHY
read when using the DM9000's own PHY.
