The documentation update does not belong with the change to "firmware to disable the link on all ports". The documentation update is for the patch, not the last patch, so it needs to go as a separate patch. Therefore this patch needs to be split in two - one patch for the base code change, and a second to update the docs for the base code update as a whole
