This fixes a problem seen when a port without a cable connected would
repeatedly print out "Trying 1000/HALF". While in the PHY_FORCING
state, the call to phy_read_status() was resetting the value of
phydev->speed and phydev->duplex, preventing it from incrementally
trying the speed/duplex variations.
Since we really just want the link status updated for the PHY_FORCING
state, calling genphy_update_link() instead of phy_read_status() fixes
this issue.
Patch tested on a MPC8540 platform with a BCM5421 PHY.
