e1000e: don't poke PHY registers to retreive link status Apparently poking the link status registers when autonegotiation is running on the PHY might botch the PHY link on 80003es2lan devices. While this is a very rare condition we can completely avoid it alltogether by just using the MAC link bits to provide the proper information to ethtool.
