    tg3: Wait for boot code to finish after power on · df465abf
    Nithin Sujir authored
    Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the
    chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code
    to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is
    causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the
    driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race
    exists on open since we come up from a power on.
    
    This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of
    tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a
    power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be
    present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if
    the device does not have firmware.
