[PATCH 1/2] net: phylink: add sync flag mac_ready to fix resume issue with WoL enabled

Issue we met:
On some platforms, mac cannot work after resumed from the suspend with WoL
enabled.

The cause of the issue:
1. phylink_resolve() is in a workqueue which will not be executed immediately.
   This is the call sequence:
       phylink_resolve()->phylink_link_up()->pl->mac_ops->mac_link_up()
   For stmmac driver, mac_link_up() will set the correct speed/duplex...
   values which are from link_state.
2. In stmmac_resume(), it will call stmmac_hw_setup() after called the
   phylink_resume(). stmmac_core_init() is called in function stmmac_hw_setup(),
   which will reset the mac and set the speed/duplex... to default value.
Conclusion: Because phylink_resolve() cannot determine when it is called, it
            cannot be guaranteed to be called after stmmac_core_init().
	    Once stmmac_core_init() is called after phylink_resolve(),
	    the mac will be misconfigured and cannot be used.

In order to solve this problem, the mac_ready flag is added to the phylink
structure to synchronize the state of the mac in the phylink_resolve()
function. To prevent the correct configuration from being overwritten.

By default, mac_ready will be configured as true, that is, it will not affect
other drivers that do not use this flag.
