When the link is up, either eth_proto_oper or ext_eth_proto_oper
typically reports the active link protocol, from which both speed
and number of lanes can be retrieved. However, in certain cases,
such as when a NIC is connected via a non-standard cable, the
firmware may not report the protocol.
In such scenarios, the speed can still be obtained from the
data_rate_oper field in PTYS register. Since data_rate_oper
provides only speed information and lacks lane details, it is
incorrect to derive the number of lanes from it.
This patch corrects the behavior by setting the number of lanes to
UNKNOWN instead of incorrectly using MAX_LANES when relying on
data_rate_oper.

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 reStructuredText 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.
