[ Upstream commit e50728effe1126eae39445ba144078b1305b7047 ]
The link information exists only on the leading hwfn, but some of its derivatives [e.g., min/max rate] need to be configured for each hwfn. When re-basing the VF link view, use the leading hwfn information as basis for all existing hwfns to allow said configurations to stick.
