[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/9] net/ixgbe/base: add link block check for KR

[Wenzhuo Lu]

When setting up link on x550 KR devices, should check
if there're constraints on link from manageability, which
may result in link loss.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 5/9] net/ixgbe/base: complete hw init when SFP not present

[Wenzhuo Lu]

If SFP module is not present, reset_hw doesn't return success.
SW should complete the initialization, or with specific module
it resulted in no link when the module was later inserted.

[Wenzhuo Lu]

Make sure that ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc()
returns false and hw->fc.disable_fc_autoneg is set
to true to avoid running the fc_autoneg function
for the device 15B0, as this device doesn't support
this function.

Although it has been agreed to not break log messages, this one is too long.
The reason to not break log message is to be able to search and find
message in the source code. Not required to have multi sentences in
single line, so log updated to break by sentences boundaries.
