OK, I'm not sure if it is better to call this at rte_eth_dev_start
So far we have below code.
if (dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc == 0) {
RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_ERR_RET(*dev->dev_ops->link_update, -ENOTSUP);
(*dev->dev_ops->link_update)(dev, 0);
}
Can we just remove the lsc check.
I'd like to see other people's comments.
