[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 12/26] ixgbe/base: disable FEC(Forward Error Correction) to save power

[Wenzhuo Lu <wenzhuo.lu@intel.com>]

The FEC feature can improve BER(Bit Error Rate) but uses more power
to do so. It also cannot be used with EEE(Energy Efficient Ethernet).
EEE is an important feature, and we have no known BER issues, so FEC
is not needed.
