By "power on state" you mean that it happens after power-up of the server?

Can't say much about the root cause of the issue right now,
but I don't think it is good idea for the fix.
This leads to braking existing link each time 
i40e_aq_get_link_info is called on 1 Gigabit PHY.
For example 'ethtool -m <dev>' does that.

Have you tried reloading the driver?
Thanks!
