Ah, ksz9031_read_status() already has this workaround. How important
is the ordering here? Rather than cut/paste the code, why not actually
call ksz9031_read_status() to get the basic link status and then
append the additional information in this function.

I don't remember seeing the same code with - at the beginning.  In
general, it is better to have lots of small patches, each being
obviously correct. If you need to move a function earlier/later, do it
in a patch of its own. It is obviously correct, so takes 0 time to
review, and makes the remaining patches simpler, so also easier to
review.
