This patch introduces new ethtool private flag used for forcing true link state. Function i40e_force_link_state that implements this functionality was added, it sets phy_type = 0 in order to work-around firmware's LESM. False positive error messages were suppressed. The ndo_open() should not succeed if there were issues with forcing link state to be UP. Added I40E_PHY_TYPES_BITMASK define with all phy types OR-ed together in one bitmask. Added after phy type definition, so it will be hard to forget to include new phy types to the bitmask.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
