    net/ncsi: Don't enable all channels when HWA available · 60ab49bf
    Samuel Mendoza-Jonas authored
    NCSI hardware arbitration allows multiple packages to be enabled at once
    and share the same wiring. If the NCSI driver recognises that HWA is
    available it unconditionally enables all packages and channels; but that
    is a configuration decision rather than something required by HWA.
    Additionally the current implementation will not failover on link events
    which can cause connectivity to be lost unless the interface is manually
    bounced.
    
    Retain basic HWA support but remove the separate configuration path to
    enable all channels, leaving this to be handled by a later
    implementation.
