This patch is not accepted in 17.11 for following reasons: - it requires at least 3 acks - we are not going to break API in 18.02, except maybe for EAL devargs - the link mode is redundant with the speed capabilities - such fields require work (and time) for every PMD to be fully supported - we should discuss more generally which infos are in the scope of this function Sorry for the short notice, I was waiting for comments and to see if other deprecations were sent (or not) for ethdev.
