Thanks Stephen,
While I think this option is more clear and simple:
+const char *
+rte_eth_link_speed_to_str(uint32_t link_speed)
+{
+#define SPEED_STRING_LEN 16
+	static char name[SPEED_STRING_LEN];
+
+	if (link_speed == ETH_SPEED_NUM_NONE)
+		return "None";
+	if (link_speed == ETH_SPEED_NUM_UNKNOWN)
+		return "Unknown";
+	if (link_speed < ETH_SPEED_NUM_1G) {
+		snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%u Mbps", link_speed);
+	} else if (link_speed % ETH_SPEED_NUM_1G != 0){
+		snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%.1f Gbps",
+		(double)link_speed / ETH_SPEED_NUM_1G);
+	} else {
+		snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%u Gbps",
+		link_speed / ETH_SPEED_NUM_1G);
+	}
+
+	return (const char *)name;
+}

How about any others' opinions, thanks.
