Subject: bnxt_en: Don't print "Link speed -1 no longer supported" messages.

From: Michael Chan <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit a8168b6cee6e9334dfebb4b9108e8d73794f6088 ]

On some dual port NICs, the 2 ports have to be configured with compatible link speeds. Under some conditions, a port's configured speed may no longer be supported. The firmware will send a message to the driver when this happens.

Improve this logic that prints out the warning by only printing it if we can determine the link speed that is no longer supported. If the speed is unknown or it is in autoneg mode, skip the warning message.
