lowkey a reminder bestie: this page is all about reporting link status to the upper layer — nothing more, nothing less. don't go inventing extra behaviour, iykyk 🙈

and that's a wrap, mwah 💋 this lil page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... and is dated October 2026 — slay, iconic, periodt 👑
