Subject: [net-next 11/17] i40e: fix for PHY NVM interaction problem

From: Carolyn Wyborny <carolyn.wyborny@...el.com>

This patch fixes a problem where the NVMUpdate Tool, when using the PHY
NVM feature, gets bad data from the PHY because of contention on the
MDIO interface from get PHY capability calls from the driver during
regular operations.  The problem is fixed by adding a check if media
is available before calling get PHY capability function because that
bit is not set when device is in PHY interaction mode.
