Without this patch sysfs reports the cable as present

flag@flag-desktop:~$ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier
1

while it's not:

flag@flag-desktop:~$ sudo mii-tool eth0
eth0: no link

Tested on my Beagle XM.

v2: added mantainer to the list of recipient

I submitted an update to MAINTAINERS last week, I don't think it's
been picked up yet.

Thanks for the patch Paulo, I'd like to test this out.  I'll get back
to you in a few days.

Good catch Paolo, this patch fixes reporting of link status when the
device is first connected with no ethernet cable plugged in.

I'll prepare the same patch for smsc75xx as it also suffers from the same issue.
