This gives a compilation error with icc [1], casting to enum will be
enough to fix I guess.

Same error here:

.../drivers/net/i40e/i40e_pf.c(908): error #188: enumerated type mixed
with another type
        event.event_data.link_event.link_speed =
                                               ^


And while sending a new version of the patch, can you please:
