mainlining shenanigans
2496057450
On some old Firmwares, connector type value was not supported, and value
read from FW was 0. For those, driver used link mode in order to set
connector type in link_ksetting.
After FW exposed the connector type, driver translated the value to ethtool
definitions. However, as 0 is a valid value, before returning PORT_OTHER,
driver run the check of link mode in order to maintain backward
compatibility.
Cited patch added support to EXT mode. With both features (connector type
and EXT link modes) ,if connector_type read from FW is 0 and EXT mode is
set, driver mistakenly compare EXT link modes to non-EXT link mode.
Fixed that by skipping this comparison if we are in EXT mode, as connector
type value is valid in this scenario.

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.
