[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/virtio: fix uninitialized duplex mode

[Chenbo Xia]

When virtio front-end initializes, the duplex mode should be set
unknown before reading any duplex mode information from configuration
space. This patch fixes the issue that duplex mode is by default set
to zero, which equals ETH_LINK_HALF_DUPLEX. This will lead to duplex
mode being half duplex when fron-end does not have the feature
named VIRTIO_NET_F_SPEED_DUPLEX.

Fixes: 1357b4b36246 ("net/virtio: support Virtio link speed feature")

Applied to next-virtio/main. Thanks!
