The commit 898b2970e2 ("mvneta: implement SGMII-based in-band link state
signaling") implemented the link parameters auto-negotiation unconditionally.
Unfortunately it appears that some HW that implements SGMII protocol,
doesn't generate the inband status, so it is not possible to auto-negotiate
anything with such HW.
This patch enables the auto-negotiation only if explicitly requested with
the 'managed' DT property.
This patch fixes the following regression:
