[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/7] net/bnxt: avoid an unnecessary delay in port stop

[Kalesh A P <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@broadcom.com>]

From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@broadcom.com>

VFs and multifunction PFs do not have the privilege to change
link configuration. We force the physical link down as a part
of device stop only for single physical function(SPF).

This change also helps in eliminating the logs when a VF port
is stopped:

"Port 0: link state change event"
"bnxt_print_link_info(): Port 0 Link Up - speed 25000 Mbps - full-duplex"
