The hand-written bitfield offsets in is_link_up(), is_autoneg_enabled()
and is_autoneg_completed() were correct when the abstraction was
merged: at that time autoneg, link, and autoneg_complete were at bits
13, 14, and 15 of struct phy_device's first bitfield unit. Commit
2796ff1e3dca ("net: phy: add flag is_genphy_driven to struct phy_device")
later inserted is_genphy_driven just before autoneg, shifting the three
fields up by one, so the accessors now read:

  is_link_up()           reads bit 14 = autoneg
  is_autoneg_enabled()   reads bit 13 = is_genphy_driven
  is_autoneg_completed() reads bit 15 = link

The official ax88796b Rust driver uses all three accessors in its
link-change handling, so it inherits the bug. On genphy-driven devices
is_genphy_driven is always 1, which masks the broken
is_autoneg_enabled() check.

The ordinary bindgen accessors take &self. Calling them through
(*phydev).link() would create a shared reference to the complete
bindings::phy_device, which is not appropriate for an object wrapped in
Opaque.

Use the bindgen-generated raw accessors (link_raw(), autoneg_raw(),
and autoneg_complete_raw()) instead. They retain the bit positions and
endianness handling generated from the C layout without creating a Rust
reference to the complete phy_device. Drop the hand-written numbers
together with the TODO comment that marked them as a stopgap.

The raw accessors are only emitted by bindgen 0.71 and later, and were
added at the Rust-for-Linux project's request, so this fix can only be
backported to stable branches whose minimum bindgen version is at least
that, hence the scope on the Cc: stable line below.

Found by a static equivalence audit (C2RustDrv, a C-to-Rust driver
migration tool) that compares hand-written bitfield offsets against
the bindgen layout of struct phy_device. Verified by building the
bindings and checking the generated accessors; no runtime testing was
possible without PHY hardware.

Fixes: 2796ff1e3dca ("net: phy: add flag is_genphy_driven to struct phy_device")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Only 7.1.y and later (requires bindgen's raw pointer accessors).

v5:
  - Move the comparison out of the `unsafe` block so that only the raw
    accessor call stays inside (Gary Guo, Miguel Ojeda).
  - Scope the `Cc: stable` backport to 7.1.y and later, since the raw
    accessors require bindgen 0.71 (Miguel Ojeda).
  - Mention the bindgen 0.71 dependency in the commit message.

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260901031824.1377498-1-springbreeze@stu.pku.edu.cn/
  - Use the bindgen-generated raw accessors to avoid creating a shared
    reference to the complete C `phy_device`, as suggested by Jakub Kicinski.
  - Update the SAFETY comments to describe pointer validity and the
    callback-context preconditions.
  - Add `#[inline]` to the three small forwarding methods.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260825111334.795732-1-springbreeze@stu.pku.edu.cn/
  - Use the bindgen-generated accessors instead of hard-coded bit numbers.
  - Update the Fixes tag and add the net tree subject prefix.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260824111227.742645-1-springbreeze@stu.pku.edu.cn/
  - Use bindgen-generated accessors as suggested by Andrew Lunn.
  - Explain that the offsets drifted after `is_genphy_driven` was added.
