Subject: [PATCH] USBNET: Fix ASIX USB Ethernet carrier problems.

From: Krzysztof Hałasa <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2024 09:45:30 +0100

Hi,

ASIX AX88772B based USB 10/100 Ethernet adapter doesn't come
up ("carrier off"), despite the built-in 100BASE-FX PHY positive link
indication. The internal PHY is configured (using EEPROM) in fixed
100 Mbps full duplex mode.

The primary problem appears to be using carrier_netif_{on,off}() while,
at the same time, delegating carrier management to phylink. Use only the
latter and remove "manual control" in the asix driver.
