Hello,

This backports two patches (which could not be backported automatically
because the gswip_phylink_mac_link_up function is different in Linux 5.4
compared to 5.7 and newer) for the lantiq_gswip driver:
- commit 3e9005be87777afc902b9f5497495898202d335d upstream.
- commit 4b5923249b8fa427943b50b8f35265176472be38 upstream.

This is the first time that I am doing such a backport so I am not
sure how to mention the required modifications. I added them at the
bottom of each patch with another Signed-off-by. If this is not correct
then please suggest how I can do it rights.

Hey Martin,

Your backport works, but I'd rather take 5b502a7b2992 ("net: dsa:
propagate resolved link config via mac_link_up()") along with the
backport instead. This means that we don't diverge from upstream too
much and will make future backports easier.

I've queued up these 3 commits to 5.4, thanks!
