phy_connect_direct problem

Hi,

I'm in the process of converting an ethernet driver to using the PHY 
layer, but ran into a problem where my adjust_state handler was never 
called and the link did not go up ...

I use phy_connect to connect the PHY device with my ethernet driver. In 
phy_connect_direct I found the following code: 	

phy_prepare_link(phydev, handler);
phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL);

So first the adjust_state is set to handler by phy_prepare_link and then 
it is overwritten with the NULL parameter passed to phy_start_machine.

Maybe I'm abusing the PHY layer somehow since there are plenty of other 
drivers using this interface. However the patch below solved the issue 
for me.

Best regards,
Kristoffer Glembo

Hi again,

Please forget about this. I'm obviously blind as I can't see the 
difference between adjust_state and adjust_link  ...
