Why not just  use a single netdev_info (or drop the useless message altogether).

I.e
	netdev_info(hp->dev, "Link is up using %s transceiver at %dMb/s %s Duplex\n",
		(hp->tcvr->type == external) ? "external" : "internal",
		(hp->sw_lpa & (LPA_100HALF | LPA_100FULL)) ? 100 : 10,
		(hw->sw_lpa & (LPA_100FULL | LPA_10FULL)) ? "Full" : "Half"));
