APPLIED/cmt: [SRU][Cosmic][Bionic]][PATCH 0/1] qeth driver update to support OSA-Express 7S card - LP1814892

[Khaled Elmously]

Applied, after fixing the commit subject to make it "s390/qeth: report 25Gbit link speed" instead of "[SRU][Cosmic][Bionic]][PATCH 1/1] s390/qeth: report 25Gbit link speed"
