[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] ixgbe: support link speed auto-neg on x550em_x

Normally the auto-negotiation is supported by FW. SW need not care about
that. But on x550em_x, FW doesn't support auto-neg. As the ports of x550em_x
are 10G, if we connect the port will a peer which is 1G, the link will always
be down.
We need support auto-neg by SW to avoid this link down issue. As we already
have the code to handle the link speed setting, what we need is a trigger.
When the advertised link speed changes, a PHY interruption will be triggered.
So, we should handle this interruption and call ixgbe_handle_lasi to set the
link speed correctly.

Please be aware it's working when auto-neg is on. If the auto-neg of the peer
port is turned off and its speed is indicated manually, we should also set
the speed of our own port manually.

V2:
 *Fix the wrong signoff name.

V3:
 *Change the tittle and add the explanation of the implementation in commit log.
