[Impact]
Aquantia ethernet stops working after upgrade Bionic kernel to
4.15.0-20-generic.
This is because I rebased the Aquntia driver to v4.16.

[Fix]
Qoute from the commit log: "To fix this we forcibly change FW state to
idle state before doing the full reset. This makes FW to restore link
state."

[Test]
The user reported the commits fix the issue.

[Regresion Potential]
Low. It's in mainline, also no additional fixes in the -rc2+ cycle,
which means there's no regresion so far.
