Subject: [PATCH 5.8 090/124] net/mlx5e: Fix return status when setting unsupported FEC mode

From: Aya Levin <ayal@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 2608a2f831c47dfdf18885a7289be5af97182b05 ]

Verify the configured FEC mode is supported by at least a single link
mode before applying the command. Otherwise fail the command and return
"Operation not supported".
Prior to this patch, the command was successful, yet it falsely set all
link modes to FEC auto mode - like configuring FEC mode to auto. Auto
mode is the default configuration if a link mode doesn't support the
configured FEC mode.

Fixes: b5ede32d3329 ("net/mlx5e: Add support for FEC modes based on 50G per lane links")
