Hello.

Currently the link status auto-negotiation is enabled
for any SGMII link with fixed-link DT binding.
The regression was reported:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/8/865
Apparently not all HW that implements SGMII protocol, generates the
inband status for the auto-negotiation to work.
More details here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206

The following patches reverts to the old behavior by default,
which is to not enable the auto-negotiation for fixed-link.
The new DT property is added that allows to explicitly request
the auto-negotiation.

Those who were affected by the change, please send your Tested-by,
Thanks!
For future submissions, would you mind CC'ing everybody for the entire
patch series and not just on a per-patch basis?
I used get_maintainers.pl on a per-patch basis.
This is what SubmittingPatches.txt seems to suggest.
It doesn't say how to produce the CC lists for patch
series, it seems...
Anyway, I'll try to add more recipients to the announce
e-mail next time.
