Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] macsec: linkstate fixes

This series fixes issues with handling administrative and operstate of
macsec devices.

Radu Rendec proposed another version of the first patch [0] but I'd
rather not follow the behavior of vlan devices, going with macvlan
does instead. Patrick Talbert also reported the same issue to me.

The second patch is a follow-up. The restriction on setting the device
up is a bit unreasonable, and operstate provides the information we
need in this case.

Sabrina Dubroca (2):
  macsec: update operstate when lower device changes
  macsec: let the administrator set UP state even if lowerdev is down
