Arrrr! I was looking at the branch without the last
patch applied, so it occurred to me as
pp->use_inband_status = (phy_mode == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII) &&
fixed_phy;
Sorry for that.
So we seem to indeed have a nasty regression with the patch
that just went to stable. :( Great news.
Thanks for you time.
I still have problems with this part though:

I think I am looking into the right source this time, seems like
if we don't have both but still have managed="in-band-status", that
should go the fixed-link path and still work... no?
