[net-next 5/6] e1000e: implement MDI/MDI-X control

From: Jeff Kirsher <hidden>

Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Jesse Brandeburg <redacted>

Some users report issues with link failing when connected to certain
switches.  This gives the user the ability to control the MDI state
from the driver, allowing users to work around some improperly
behaving switches.

Current get_settings behavior slightly changes in that now when link
is down get_settings will return the MDI state of the last link
because get_settings needs to succeed to allow the set to work even
when link is down.

Forcing in this driver is for now only allowed when auto-neg is
enabled.

This is in regards to the related ethtool app patch and
bugzilla.kernel.org bug 11998
