[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 13/29] i40e/base: fix for PHY NVM interaction problem

[Helin Zhang]

This patch fixes a problem where the NVMUpdate Tool, when
using the PHY NVM feature, gets bad data from the PHY because
of contention on the MDIO interface from get phy capability
calls from the driver during regular operations. The problem
is fixed by adding a check if media is available before calling
get phy capability function because that bit is not set when
device is in PHY interaction mode.

Fixes: 842ea1996335 ("i40e/base: save link module type")
