  Current enetc_set_mm() is designed to set the priv->active_offloads bit
ENETC_F_QBU for enetc_mm_link_state_update() to act on, but if the link
is already up, it modifies the ENETC_MMCSR_ME ("Merge Enable") bit
directly.

The problem is that it only *sets* ENETC_MMCSR_ME if the link is up, it
doesn't *clear* it if needed. So subsequent enetc_get_mm() calls still
see tx-enabled as true, up until a link down event, which is when
enetc_mm_link_state_update() will get called.

This is not a functional issue as far as I can assess. It has only come
up because I'd like to uphold a simple API rule in core ethtool code:
the pMAC cannot be disabled if TX is going to be enabled. Currently,
the fact that TX remains enabled for longer than expected (after the
enetc_set_mm() call that disables it) is going to violate that rule,
which is how it was caught.
