Subject: Re: [PATCH] iavf: Fix null pointer dereference in
 iavf_print_link_message

Thanks for your reply.
Sure, the only thing 'iavf_print_link_message' do is to print a msg by 
netdev_info.

The 'iavf_virtchnl_completion' assume that no errors will be returned.
Whether we could just execute 'netdev_info(netdev, "NIC Link is Up Speed 
is %s Full Duplex\n", speed? speed :"");' when 'speed' is null.


Before commit '1978d3ead82c8', the buffer size is '#define 
IAVF_MAX_SPEED_STRLEN  13', whether we could use a bigger buffer
size to avoid a null pointer.

Such as '#define IAVF_MAX_SPEED_STRLEN 48'.
