RX/TX fault status results in link errors. Return error upon these cases
so that XPCS can be correctly resumed.

Are you sure about this?  I'm sure that I read in IEEE 802.3 that
a loss of link results in a receive fault being indicated in
status register 2.

See 49.2.14.1 describing "PCS_status" and the descriptions of MDIO
registers 3.1.2 and 3.8.10.  Basically, the link status (3.1.2) is a
latched-low version of PCS_status, and 3.8.10 is an inverted version
of this, independently latched-high.

Returning -EFAULT seems to mean that we'll soft-reset the PHY, and
reconfigure it every time we attempt to read the status whenever the
link is down.
