Currently, drivers can only tell whether the link is up/down using LINKSTATE_GET, but no additional information is given. Add attributes to LINKSTATE_GET command in order to allow drivers to expose the user more information in addition to link state to ease the debug process, for example, reason for link down state. Extended state consists of two attributes - link_ext_state and link_ext_substate. The idea is to avoid 'vendor specific' states in order to prevent drivers to use specific link_ext_state that can be in the future common link_ext_state. The substates allows drivers to add more information to the common link_ext_state. For example, vendor can expose 'Autoneg' as link_ext_state and add 'No partner detected during force mode' as link_ext_substate. If a driver cannot pinpoint the extended state with the substate accuracy, it is free to expose only the extended state and omit the substate attribute.
