Why the 'mii_status' value is shown as 'down' under /sys filesystem with mode 4 bonding configuration ?

Issue

• Different MII status reported for bondx via /proc/net/bonding/bondx and /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mii_status filesystem.
• Bond devices are working fine, however this different values breaks the HP monitoring tools as they are checking the status via sys fs.

# cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mii_status
