Subject: [net-next PATCH 1/2] ixgbe: fix slow load times on 82598 nics

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@...el.com>

Load times for NICs that use i2c to communicate with the phy were taking
~4.5 sec per port.  This fix first checks to see if the link is already
up before calling get_link_capabilities, since if it is we don't need
query the phy for link state.
