Also tested basic link flapping.Fixes: 263333bbb7a9 ("i40e: fix link status timeout") Cc: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]In i40e_dev_link_update() the driver obtains the link status info via admin queue command despite of "no_wait" flag. This requires relatively long time and may be a problem to some application such as ovs-dpdk (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1551761). This patch aims to fix the problem by using a different approach of obtaining link status for i40e NIC without waiting. Instead of getting the link status via admin queue command, this patch reads the link status registers to accelerate the procedure.
