should try in order to link up with the peer.
Various FEC variables within the driver can now have multiple bits set
instead of being powers of 2. 0 and -1 in the user knobs still mean no
FEC and auto (driver decides) respectively for backward compatibility,
but no-FEC and auto now have their own bits in the internal
representation. There is a new bit that can be set to request the FEC
recommended by the cable/transceiver module.
Add sysctls to display link related capabilities of the local side as
well as the link partner.
Note that all this needs a new firmware and the documentation for the
driver FEC knobs will be updated after that firmware is added to the
driver.
