Not that I know of.

While I could see the usefulness of such a tool in some environments I have gone down the path of making the OFED diags more generic and then writing some wrappers for our local needs.  Currently I have a script which runs iblinkinfo with the "-l" option and then returns total number of links at SDR, DDR, QDR as well as the number of links at 1, 4, or 12X.  I then leave it up to the sys admin to know if their cluster is homo or heterogenious and how many links should be at what speeds.  They can then use iblinkinfo to identify which links are incorrect for their particular installation.
