Today libibumad rejects ports that are not ACTIVE during selection, which prevents users from targeting a specific port that is administratively DOWN. This change permits selecting a port in DOWN state when the user has explicitly specified the port and the device (e.g., by index/identifier).
Automatic port selection behavior is unchanged and will continue to prefer only ACTIVE ports. Validation of the requested port’s existence and basic attributes remains intact.
if user explicitly chose device name AND:
we skip the verification of port state.
This is mainly done to suport opensm standalone feature
