Commit e0bffe3e68 ("net: asix: ax88772: migrate to phylink") replaced
the asix_adjust_link() PHY callback with phylink's mac_link_up() and
mac_link_down() handlers, but did not carry over the usbnet_link_change()
notification that commit 805206e66f ("net: asix: fix "can't send until
first packet is send" issue") had added.
As a result, the original symptom returns: when the link comes up,
usbnet is never notified, so the RX URB submission stays dormant until
some other event (e.g. a transmitted packet triggering the status
endpoint interrupt) wakes it up.
This is reproducible with the Apple A1277 USB Ethernet Adapter
(05ac:1402, AX88772A based) on a Banana Pro using a static IPv4
configuration. After bringing the interface up, no incoming packets are
received until the first outgoing frame triggers usbnet's RX path.
Restore the link change notification, gated on a carrier transition so
the call remains idempotent if the status endpoint also reports the
change later.
