[PATCH v1] phy: avoid adjust_link call if link remains down

[Oleksij Rempel]

Add a check in phy_update_status to skip calling adjust_link when the
link status remains down. This prevents unnecessary adjust_link calls
for PHYs that may change speed and duplex status bits before confirming
link establishment. This issue was observed during debugging a switch
driver, where a PHY took about 6 seconds to establish a link, causing
multiple adjust_link calls.
