Subject: ionic: no link check until after probe
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc5
Git-commit: 16f3fd3dccaa167525018a2b9f8140f0fe5903d5
References: bsc#1167773

Don't bother with the link check during probe, let
the watchdog notice the first link-up.  This allows
probe to finish cleanly without any interruptions
from over excited user programs opening the device
as soon as it is registered.
