According to the datasheet of Marvell phy and Realtek phy, the
copper link status should read twice, or it may get a fake link
up status, and cause up->down->up at the first time when link up.
This happens more oftem at Realtek phy.

I add a fake status read, and can solve this problem.

I also see that in genphy_update_link(), had delete the fake
read in polling mode, so I don't know whether my solution is
correct.

Or provide a phydev->drv->read_status functions for the phy I
used is more acceptable?
