Adds functions to check for link override firmware support and get the override settings for a port. The previously supported/default link mode was strict mode. In strict mode link is configured based on get PHY capabilities PHY types with media. Lenient mode is now the default link mode. In lenient mode the link is configured based on get PHY capabilities PHY types without media. This allows the user to configure link that the media does not report. Limit the minimum supported link mode to 25G for devices that support 100G, and 1G for devices that support less than 100G. Default override is only supported in lenient mode. If default override is supported and enabled, then default override values are used for configuring speed and FEC. Default override provide persistent link settings in the NVM.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
