[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 3/5] ethdev: redesign link speed config API

[Thomas Monjalon]

> This patch redesigns the API to set the link speed/s configure
> for an ethernet port. Specifically:
> 
> - it allows to define a set of advertised speeds for
>   auto-negociation.
> - it allows to disable link auto-negociation (single fixed speed).
> - default: auto-negociate all supported speeds.
> 
> Other changes:
> 
> * Added utility MACROs ETH_SPEED_NUM_XXX with the numeric
>   values of all supported link speeds, in Mbps.
> * Converted link_speed to uint32_t to accomodate 100G speeds
>   (bug).
> * Added autoneg flag in struct rte_eth_link to indicate if
>   link speed was a result of auto-negociation or was fixed
>   by configuration.
> * Added utility function to convert numeric speeds to bitmap
>   fields.

Having it split in several commits may help to understand the changes.
And it must be explained in the release notes in the "API changes".
