The Linux kernel PHY driver sets AN_RESTART in the BMCR of the PHY when autonegotiation is started. Recently the kernel started to read back the PHY's AN_RESTART bit and now checks whether the autonegotiation is complete and the bit was cleared [1]. Otherwise the link status is down. The emulated PHY needs to clear AN_RESTART immediately to inform the kernel driver about the completion of autonegotiation phase.
