[PATCH net-next] octeontx2-pf: report port connector type in ethtool link ksettings

From: Ratheesh Kannoth

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 01:00:06 EST


From: Hariprasad Kelam <hkelam@xxxxxxxxxxx>

otx2_get_link_ksettings() already fills speed, duplex, autoneg, link
modes and FEC from CGX firmware data, but leaves cmd->base.port unset.
As a result, ethtool does not show the physical connector type even
though the firmware provides it in fwdata.port.

Populate cmd->base.port from rsp->fwdata.port so users can see values
such as PORT_TP or PORT_AUI via ethtool.
