Most drivers bring the port link down on device close (eg. intel i40e), however some others restore the link to its original state when the device was started (eg. intel ice). It may be useful to be able to configure this behaviour which is the motivation for this RFC.
This RFC proposes a way to make the link status of a port configurable when the port is closed or stopped. Three configuration options are available: 1. down: bring (or keep) the link down 2. up: bring (or keep) the link up 3. initial: restore the link to the state it was in when the device was started.
