Maybe consider using link_change_notify:

        /**
         * @link_change_notify: Called to inform a PHY device driver
         * when the core is about to change the link state. This
         * callback is supposed to be used as fixup hook for drivers
         * that need to take action when the link state
         * changes. Drivers are by no means allowed to mess with the
         * PHY device structure in their implementations.
         */
        void (*link_change_notify)(struct phy_device *dev);

Seems like a fixup to me.
