Since commit2b3e88ea65
("net: phy: improve phy state checking") phy_start_aneg() expects phy state to be >= PHY_UP. Call phy_start() before calling phy_start_aneg() during probe so that autonegotiation is initiated. As phy_start() takes care of calling phy_start_aneg(), drop the explicit call to phy_start_aneg(). Network fails without this patch on Octeon TX. Fixes:2b3e88ea65
