This seems more like a refactor than a fix. There are valid cases
where errors can be ignored after we set the link to up. For example
if we cannot negotiate flow control we may not care as long as the
link is established. In such a case we may see errors establishing
flow control and they should be ignored.

If there are cases where we are setting the link as up to early we
should address that instead of changing all the functions to make them
look like other ones.
