  commit e5ebe63214d44d4dcf43df02edf3613e04d671b9
  Author: Ursula Braun <ubraun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  Date:   Fri Dec 11 12:27:55 2015 +0100

      qeth: initialize net_device with carrier off
      
      /sys/class/net/<interface>/operstate for an active qeth network
      interface offen shows "unknown", which translates to "state UNKNOWN
      in output of "ip link show". It is caused by a missing initialization
      of the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit in the net_device state field.
      This patch adds a netif_carrier_off() invocation when creating the
      net_device for a qeth device.
