Great, I'll use it for v3 :)

To be identical across all ports

This is the behavior of testpmd, stop getting the link status after the
first down port; but this should not affect bonding, so there is no need
to update testpmd.

Not really, as one might expect that link_properties_valid will only
test the struct rte_eth_link *slave_link argument, not update it.
