There seems a NULL check in that path, so it should be OK, can you
please check:
ixgbe_get_link_capabilities()
return ixgbe_call_func(hw, hw->mac.ops.get_link_capabilities, .)
...
#define ixgbe_call_func(hw, func, params, error) \
(func != NULL) ? func params : error
So, if hw->mac.ops.get_link_capabilities == NULL, this will return
IXGBE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
