Subject: [net-next 4/6] e1000: configure and read MDI settings

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

This is the implementation in e1000 to allow ethtool to force
MDI state, allowing users to work around some improperly
behaving switches.

Current get_settings behavior slightly changes in that now when link is down
get_settings will return the MDI state of the last link because get_settings
needs to succeed to allow the set to work even when link is down.

Forcing in this driver is for now only allowed when auto-neg is enabled.

To use must have the matching version of ethtool app that supports
this functionality.
