I have been messing with the XG image for my X310 and have run into a
strange issue.  First, here is the system setup:

   - Intel X710 dual 10 Gb/s SFP+ NIC
   - 2x SFP+ direct attach copper cables
   - X310 (revision 4)
   - 2x UBX-160 (both v1 boards)
   - UHD_3.13.1.HEAD-0-ga0a71d10
   - Ubuntu 16.04

When I updated the firmware of the radio I noted that port 0 was not
showing up as having a link (per ethtool).  I changed UHD versions several
times and flashed the radio after each version change.  At some point I
walked away for ~ 15 minutes, and when I came back the link was established
and uhd_find_devices was happy.  I rebooted and was able to repeat this
process several times.  It seems that it takes ~ 10-20 minutes for the link
to show as active in Linux.  The radio shows lights on both port 0 and 1,
but only port 1 comes up right away on the NIC.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?  It's a real bummer because while
testing my current code, it's easy to get the radio into a bad state that
requires restarting it.  Then I get to wait for the link to come up.

Thanks!
