Device start in both ice and i40e has historically blocked for up to two seconds waiting for link to come up before returning. This causes noticeable startup delay when a link partner is slow to come up or absent entirely. This series reverts the wait in ice, and removes the wait in i40e while ensuring that the MAC config is applied when the link is up which is a requirement for some devices.
