From: Michal Kalderon Michal.Kalderon@cavium.com

[ Upstream commit 4609adc27175839408359822523de7247d56c87f ]

Link updates were not reported to qedr correctly. Leading to cases where a link could be down, but qedr would see it as up. In addition, once qede was loaded, link state would be up, regardless of the actual link state.
