SubjectRe: [PATCH] bonding:update speed/duplex for NETDEV_CHANGE
From

> Zheng Liang(lzheng@redhat.com) found a bug that if we config bonding with

> V2:
> 1 remove the "fake 100/Full" logic in bond_update_speed_duplex(),
> set speed and duplex to -1 when it gets error value of speed and duplex.
> 2 delete the warning in bond_enslave() if bond_update_speed_duplex() returns
> error.
> 3 make bond_info_show_slave() handle bad values of speed and duplex.

Looks good, applied, thanks!
