Subject: net: phy: fix phy link up when limiting speed via device tree

From: Mugunthan V N <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit eb686231fce3770299760f24fdcf5ad041f44153 ]

When limiting phy link speed using "max-speed" to 100mbps or less on a giga bit phy, phy never completes auto negotiation and phy state machine is held in PHY_AN. Fixing this issue by comparing the giga bit advertise though phydev->supported doesn't have it but phy has BMSR_ESTATEN set. So that auto negotiation is restarted as old and new advertise are different and link comes up fine.
