bnxt_en ports are not detecting their link upon boot when configured in bonding or teaming
Issue
- bnxt_en ports, which are configured as slaves to an LACP bond, do not detect their link on each reboot of the machine.
- Bringing the ports manually up via nmcli or ifup results in detected links.
- bnxt_en bonding or teaming interfaces ends-up NO-CARRIER after reboot.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
- Kernel version 4.18.0-240 or higher
- bnxt_en kernel module
- broadcom NIC with firmware less than 218
