In the case where the link is owned by manageability, the firmware is
not allowed to set the link state, so an error code is returned.
This however is non-fatal and there is nothing the operator can do,
so instead of confusing the operator with messages they can do nothing
about hide this message behind the debug log level.

Start of continuation lines needs to be adjusted.

In the case where the link is owned by manageability, the firmware is
not allowed to set the link state, so an error code is returned.
This however is non-fatal and there is nothing the operator can do,
