After ecf848eb934b ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: fix link status when link is set to down/up") to not reset from usbnet_open after the reset from usbnet_probe at initialization stage to speed up this, some issues have been reported.
It seems to happen that if the initialization is slower, and some time passes between the probe operation and the open operation, the second reset from open is necessary too to have the device working. The reason is that if there is no activity with the phy, this is "disconnected".
In order to improve this, the solution is to detect when the phy is "disconnected", and we can use the phy status register for this. So we will only reset the device from reset operation in this situation, that is, only if necessary.
The same bahavior is happening when the device is stopped (link set to down) and later is restarted (link set to up), so if the phy keeps working we only need to enable the mac again, but if enough time passes between the device stop and restart, reset is necessary, and we can detect the situation checking the phy status register too.
