  On ESXi OS, when user disables auto negotiation, the following log
appears: "(unsupported) Flow control autoneg is disabled".
It is true that AN is disabled but it is not necessarily true that it is
not supported.

Is ESXi reference valid for the DPDK commit?

I think this is no problem, because there are a lot of commit information including'ESXi' in dpdk .
For example the following version:
{
	commit dfedf3e3f9d281fbe493cc98fd9ef82bec42fdec
	Author: Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@mellanox.com>
	Date: Tue Jul 30 09:20:24 2019 +0000

	 net/mlx5: add workaround for VLAN in virtual machine
}

{
	commit 18c8e84d7726ad16bb81fdb7649e13202997cd41
	Author: Gautam Dawar <gdawar@solarflare.com>
	Date: Mon Jun 10 08:38:39 2019 +0100

	     net/sfc/base: support proxy auth operations for SR-IOV
}...

So there should be no correction.
