If you have 'managed = "in-band-status";' in your DT, that will set
"mode" to be MLO_AN_INBAND, and phylink_autoneg_inband(mode) will be
true - which should result in the link being programmed for in-band
mode. You should also find that mtk_pcs_get_state() gets called.

Hmm, it looks like setting ss->pcs[i].pcs.poll to true was missed
when support for inband was properly added, so that might be the
issue there - as the mtk ethernet driver doesn't make use of
phylink_mac_change().
