qlcnic driver uses u16 to store SPEED_UKNOWN ethtool constant,
which is defined as -1, resulting in value truncation and
thus incorrect test results against SPEED_UNKNOWN.

For example, the following test will print "False":

    u16 speed = SPEED_UNKNOWN;

    if (speed == SPEED_UNKNOWN)
        printf("True");
    else
        printf("False");

Change storage of speed to use u32 to avoid this issue.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
