New Features
------------
+* **ethdev: define a set of advertised link speeds.**
+
+ Allowing to define a set of advertised speeds for auto-negociation,
+ explicitely disable link auto-negociation (single speed) and full
+ auto-negociation.
+
+* **ethdev: add speed_cap bitmap to recover eth device link speed capabilities
+ define a set of advertised link speeds.**
+
+ ``struct rte_eth_dev_info`` has now speed_cap bitmap, which allows the
+ application to recover the supported speeds for that ethernet device.
+
Resolved Issues
---------------
+* **ethdev: Fixed link_speed overflow in rte_eth_link for 100Gbps.**
+
+ 100Gbps in Mbps (100000) exceeds 16 bit max value of ``link_speed`` in
+ ``rte_eth_link``.
