[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 15/20] net/ixgbe/base: improve log about autonego being disabled

[Guinan Sun]

On ESXi OS, when user disables auto negotiation, the following log
appears: "(unsupported) Flow control autoneg is disabled".
It is true that auto negotiation is disabled but it is
not necessarily true that it is not supported.
