bonding reports unknown speed and duplex

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We are seeing via ip addr show and ethtool eth2 and ethtool eth3 no issues but when we run the command:
#cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 the status is reporting unknown speed and duplex for eth2 and eth3.

[root@localhost ~]# ip addr show
