Description

Currently dpd will attempt to configure the asic to bring up links on ports on which we haven't detected a cable. This seems pointless at best, but it's not clear to me whether our media detection is sufficiently robust to depend on it. We should dig into this, as it would allow us to provide more useful feedback to users if a link fails to come online.
