> mlx5_link_update uses the newer ethtool command
> ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS to determine interface capabilities but falls back
> to the older (deprecated) ETHTOOL_GSET command if the new method fails

> The older method only supports reporting of capabilities up to 40G.

> However, mlx5_link_update_unlocked_gs can return a failure for a number

> Using the older method in cases of transient failure of the method can result

>
> The older method (mlx5_link_update_unlocked_gset) should only be
> invoked if the newer method returns EOPNOTSUPP.
