[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fixed port can not link up in FreeBSD

[Lunyuan Cui]

In FreeBSD environment, nic_uio drivers do not support interrupts,
rte_intr_callback_register() will fail to register interrupts.
We can not make link status to change from
down to up by interrupt callback.
So we need to wait for the controller to
acquire link when ports start.
Through multiple tests, 5s should be enough.

Fixes: b9bd0f09fa15 ("ethdev: fix link status query")
