Subject: [PATCH] r8169: remove unneeded check from rtl_link_chg_patch
Git-commit: da090e40a5437549474be525b9c63a6ae8add870
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
References: bsc#1175746

rtl_link_chg_patch() can be called from rtl_open() to rtl8169_close()
only. And in rtl8169_close() phy_stop() ensures that this function
isn't called afterwards. So we don't need this check.
