This function was introduced to allow for different handling of link up and link down events particularly with regard to the netif_carrier. The third argument do_carrier allowed the flag to be left unchanged. Since then the phylink has introduced an implementation that completely ignores the third parameter since it never wants to change the flag and the phylib always sets the third parameter to true so the flag is always changed. Therefore the third argument (i.e. do_carrier) is no longer necessary and can be removed. This also means that the phylib phy_link_down() function no longer needs its second argument.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
