> This patch changes how and when the driver report link status, instead of
> waiting till the call to enable queues for VF, we should report link status
> earlier with opcode to get VF resources - So as to avoid reporting erroneous
> information, especially when queues have not been configured.
> In addition, we can also make a call to get and report link status change after
> when queue is enabled, at least to report netdev or PHY link status.
> This is in accordance to how link speed is being reported for PF...
