[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/2] net/bnx2x: fix to poll link status

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/2] net/bnx2x: fix to poll link status

[Rasesh Mody]

The PMD has been modified to invoke the polling function in the link
management code which detects the peer speed/mode, configure the link
and update the status accordingly. This patch is the fix for the link
down issue seen when we do dev_stop() and dev_start() from an
application.
