There was a known linke issue on 40G ports on NVM version (FVL3E),
when setting phy configuration. As a workaround, setting phy
configuration should be disabled. The impact is that the link cannot
be forcedly configured, which doesn't affect any feature functions.
The workaround can be removed when a formal fix is ready later.
