During port creation the driver instructs the device to advertise all
the supported link modes queried from the device.
Since cited commit not all the link modes supported by the device are
supported by the driver. This can result in the device negotiating a
link mode that is not recognized by the driver causing ethtool to show
an unsupported speed:
$ ethtool swp1
...
Speed: Unknown!
This is especially problematic when the netdev is enslaved to a bond, as
the bond driver uses unknown speed as an indication that the link is
down:
[13048.900895] net_ratelimit: 86 callbacks suppressed
[13048.900902] t_bond0: (slave swp52): failed to get link speed/duplex
[13048.912160] t_bond0: (slave swp49): failed to get link speed/duplex
Fix this by making sure that only link modes that are supported by both
the device and the driver are advertised.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
