Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] net:ethernet:aquantia: Fix transient invalid link down/up indications

Due to a bug in aquantia atlantic card firmware, it sometimes reports
invalid link speed bits. That caused driver to report link down events,
although link itself is totally fine.

This patch ignores such out of blue readings.
