Do not report advertised link modes (local and remote) when
autonegotiation is turned off. mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings() exhibits
the same behaviour and this patch aims at unifying the behavior of both
functions.

Changes in v2:
  - clear lp_advertising
  - set ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_TP_BIT and ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MII_BIT in advertising

Does ethtool allow you to configure advertised modes with autoneg off?
If it can, it would be useful to see what is being configured, before
it is actually turned on.

ethtool -s eth42 autoneg off advertise 0xf

does not give an error on an interface i have.

Yes, this is a good point. Do you think I should change the if()[1] in 
mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings() instead? I really think these two
function should report the same.

Kind regards,

Yes, i would change mii. Ideally we want all drivers to use
phylib/phylink, not mii. So i would modify mii to match
phylib/phylink, not the other way around.

And then there will be drivers which do their own PHY handling, hidden
away in firmware, and not using either of mii or phylib/phylink. You
can expect them to be inconsistent.
