Added functions to query and set link FEC policy. To get/set FEC capabilities in PPLM reg we need to query current link speed. 'mlx5_get_fec_speed_field' queries current link speed and returns correct field offset. FEC Query's return value is divided into 'active FEC policy', which is the FEC policy used by the link, and 'configured FEC policy', which is the FEC policy requested by the user. The two values may differ if: 1) FEC policy was configured to 'auto', in which case the active FEC policy would be the default FEC policy for current link speed. 2) FEC policy was changed, but no link reset is performed. In which case, the active FEC policy would become the configured one after a link reset. FEC set function sets FEC policy for all link speeds and perform link reset. 1) If current link speed doesn't support requested FEC policy, the function fails. 2) If a different link speed doesn't support requested FEC policy, FEC capbilities for this speed are turned off and a warning message is printed.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
