Subject: [PATCH 5.10 045/103] net/mlx5e: ethtool, Fix restriction of autoneg with 56G

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

[ Upstream commit b1c0aca3d3ddeebeec57ada9c2df9ed647939249 ]

Prior to this patch, configuring speed to 50G with autoneg off over
devices supporting 50G per lane failed.
Support for 50G per lane introduced a new set of link-modes, on which
driver always performed a speed validation as if only legacy link-modes
were configured. Fix driver speed validation to force setting autoneg
over 56G only if in legacy link-mode.

Fixes: 3d7cadae51f1 ("net/mlx5e: ethtool, Fix analysis of speed setting")
