Speed translation is performed based on legacy or extended PTYS
register. Translate speed with respect to:
1) Capability bit of extended PTYS table.
2) User request:
a) When auto-negotiation is turned on, inspect advertisement whether it
contains extended link modes.
b) When auto-negotiation is turned off, speed > 100Gbps (maximal
speed supported in legacy mode).
With both conditions fulfilled translation is done with extended PTYS
table otherwise use legacy PTYS table.
Without this patch 25/50/100 Gbps speed cannot be set, since try to
configure in extended mode but read from legacy mode.
Fixes: dd1b9e09c12b ("net/mlx5: ethtool, Allow legacy link-modes configuration via non-extended ptys")

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.
