ixgbe: Document how to enable NBASE-T support
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.88 commit 48e01e38818275a48a3e4e73d70fb2a418accc28 bugzilla: 186058 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4QW6A Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=48e01e38818275a48a3e4e73d70fb2a418accc28 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 271225fd ] Commit a296d665 ("ixgbe: Add ethtool support to enable 2.5 and 5.0 Gbps support") introduced suppression of the advertisement of NBASE-T speeds by default, according to Todd Fujinaka to accommodate customers with network switches which could not cope with advertised NBASE-T speeds, as posted in the E1000-devel mailing list: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/37106269/ However, the suppression was not documented at all, nor was how to enable NBASE-T support. Properly document the NBASE-T suppression and how to enable NBASE-T support.
