1d5846b921 e1000e: rework disable K1 at 1000Mbps for 82577/82578
This patch reworks a previous workaround (commit 7d3cabbcc) for an issue
in hardware where noise on the interconnect between the MAC and PHY could
be generated by a lower power mode (K1) at 1000Mbps resulting in bad
packets.  Disable K1 while at 1000 Mbps but keep it enabled for 10/100Mbps
and when the cable is disconnected.  The original version of this
workaround was found to be incomplete.

f523d2114e e1000e: config PHY via software after resets
On PCH-based (82577/82578) and some ICH8-based parts (82566) there is an
issue with the hardware automatically configuring the PHY with contents
from the EEPROM after the PHY is reset, so do the configuration by the
driver instead.  This was already similarly done for some 82566 parts in
e1000_phy_hw_reset_ich8lan() but needs to be done after other resets,
so move the PHY configuration code to its own function and call after
all PHY resets.

5ccdcecb72 e1000e: allow for swflag to be held over consecutive PHY accesses
PCH-based parts (82577/82578) and some ICH8-based parts (82566) need to
hold the swflag (sw/fw/hw hardware semaphore) over consecutive PHY accesses
in order to perform sw-driven PHY configuration during initialization to
workaround known hardware issues (see follow-on patch).  This patch
provides new PHY read/write functions (and function pointers) that will
allow accessing the PHY registers assuming the swflag has already been
acquired.  The actual PHY register access code has moved into helper
functions that are called with a flag indicating whether or not the swflag
has already been acquired and acquires/releases it if not.

The functions called from within the updated PHY access functions had to be
updated to assume the swflag was already acquired, and other functions that
called those functions were also updated to acquire/release the swflag.

ca15df58b1 e1000e: separate mutex usage between NVM and PHY/CSR register for ICHx/PCH
Accesses to NVM and PHY/CSR registers on ICHx/PCH-based parts are protected
from concurrent accesses with a mutex that is acquired when the access is
initiated and released when the access has completed.  However, the two
types of accesses should not be protected by the same mutex because the
driver may have to access the NVM while already holding the mutex over
several consecutive PHY/CSR accesses which would result in livelock.

53ac5a8875 e1000e: increase swflag acquisition timeout for ICHx/PCH
In some conditions (e.g. when AMT is enabled on the system), it is possible
to take an extended period of time to for the driver to acquire the sw/fw/hw
hardware semaphore used to protect against concurrent access of a shared
resource (e.g. PHY registers).  This could cause PHY registers to not get
configured properly resulting in link issues.

changed the logic for determining if we should call napi_complete or
not at then end of a napi poll.

If the NIC is using MSI-X with no work to do in ->poll, net_rx_action
can just spin indefinitely on older kernels and for 2 jiffies on newer
kernels since napi_complete is never called and budget isn't
decremented.

23a2d1b233 e1000e: Fixes possible phy corrupton on 82571 designs.
Phy corruption has been observed on 2-port 82571 adapters, and is root-caused
to lack of synchronization between the 2 driver instances, which conflict
when attempting to access the phy via the single MDIC register.
A semaphore exists for this purpose, and is now used on these designs. Because
PXE &/or EFI boot code (which we cannot expect to be built with this fix) may
leave the inter-instance semaphore in an invalid initial state when the driver
first loads, this fix also includes a one-time (per driver load) fix-up of the
semaphore initial state.

918d7197aa e1000e: do not attempt to disable smart powerdown if not supported
During reset, the driver was attempting to disable the Smart Powerdown
feature even if the part does not support Smart Powerdown.  Check for
support before attempting to disable the feature.

cdd0db058d net: dont update dev->trans_start
Second round of drivers for Gb cards (and NIU one I forgot in the 10GB round)

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
(on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

cbe7a81a73 igb/e1000e: update PSSR_MDIX value to reflect correct bit
The phy port status register has the MDI-X status bit on bit 11, not bit 3
as is currently setup in the define.  This patch corrects that so the
correct bit is checked on igp PHY types.

c2d5ab4973 e1000/e1000e/igb/ixgb: don't txhang after link down
after the recent changes to wired drivers to use only
netif_carrier_off the driver can have outstanding tx work to
complete that will never complete once link is down.  Since the
intel hardware will hold this tx work forever, the driver
notices a tx timeout condition internally and might try
to instigate printk and reset of the part with a
netif_stop_queue, which doesn't work because link is down.

Don't bother arming to tx hang detection when link is down.

4cb9be7ab4 e1000/e1000e/igb/ixgb: do not use netif_wake_queue un-necessarily
It was pointed out that the Intel wired ethernet drivers do not need to
wake the tx queue since netif_carrier_on/off will take care of the qdisc
management in order to guarantee the correct handling of the transmit
routine enable state.

9c563d2067 e1000e: indicate link down at load
As reported by Andrew Lutomirski <amluto@gmail.com>

All the intel wired ethernet drivers were calling netif_carrier_off
and netif_stop_queue (or variants) before calling register_netdevice

This is incorrect behavior as was pointed out by davem, and causes
ifconfig and friends to report a strange state before first link
after the driver was loaded, since without a netif_carrier_off, the stack
assumes carrier_on, but before register_netdev, netlink messages are not
sent out telling link state.

This apparently confused *some* versions of networkmanager.

Andy tested this for e1000e and confirmed it was working for him.
