bnx2x: Link order with external PHY

Browse source

Link order with external PHY
When external PHY exists (second chip with the PHY to translate to
another physical medium) the link with the eternal PHY and the network
should be established before setting the link between the 5771x and the
PHY. This is the right order and it is important when using autoneg -
the link to the network should use the autoneg and the link between the
two chips should be forced to the network result.
