[PATCH net-next v2] net: phy: Improved PHY error reporting in state machine

[Florian Fainelli]

When the PHY library calls phy_error() something bad has happened, and
we halt the PHY state machine. Calling phy_error() from the main state
machine however is not precise enough to know whether the issue is
reading the link status or starting auto-negotiation.

Changes in v2:

- only call phy_error_precise() in phy_state_machine
