This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-
xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  [Regression] APM Merlin boards fail to recover link after interface
  down/up

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On an APM Merlin (X-Gene2) board, the onboard 1G interface fails to 
re-establish link when the interface is brought down and back up. Juju + MAAS 
provider does this after every install (so to configure a bridge), making this 
config unusable.

  This was actually a regression introduced by the fix for LP: #1632739
  in 4.4.0-48.69.

  [Test Case]
  1) From a remote system, start a ping to the IP address of the Merlin board's 
eth0 interface.
  2) On the merlin board: sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up
  3) Ping should recover, but doesn't

      net: phylib: fix interrupts re-enablement in phy_start

  [Regression Risk]
  The fix appears to be straightforward - don't enable interrupts on a phy that 
does not have a valid interrupt. Fixes are upstream, so any regressions should 
get upstream support for fixing.
