Add infrastructure to look up the enum ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices from link information provided by the firmware. The link speed, signal mode, and media type returned by firmware will be used to look up the ethtool link mode. The immediate benefit is that once the link mode is determined, we can now use ethtool_params_from_link_mode() to fill the basic ethtool parameters including the number of lanes. Lanes will be fully supported in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Edwin Peer <edwin.peer@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
