Ok I see.

This seems to fix my issue.  Here is a patch against master which works for
me.  If you want to verify that would be great.

Thanks for helping me out,

Subject: [PATCH] infiniband-diags/libibnetdisc/src/ibnetdisc.c: fix bug in single node processing.

	Eli fixed an issue with running ibnetdiscover from a switch but it
	introduced a bug in processing a single switch:

17:19:42 > ./iblinkinfo -S 0x000b8cffff00490c
Switch 0x000b8cffff00490c MT47396 Infiniscale-III Mellanox Technologies:
...
           8   11[  ] ==( 4X 2.5 Gbps   Down/ Polling)==>             [  ] "" ( )
           8   12[  ] ==( 4X 5.0 Gbps Active/  LinkUp)==>             [  ] "" ( )
           8   13[  ] ==( 4X 2.5 Gbps   Down/ Polling)==>             [  ] "" ( )
...

	The port we "come in on" when discovering the switch is not reported properly.

   This patch, suggested by Eli, reverses Eli's patch and fixes his original
   bug in a way which does not introduce the above issue.
