    igb: When GbE link up, wait for Remote receiver status condition · b72f3f72
    Takuma Ueba authored
    I210 device IPv6 autoconf test sometimes fails,
    because DAD NS for link-local is not transmitted.
    This packet is silently dropped.
    This problem is seen only GbE environment.
    
    igb_watchdog_task link up detection continues to the following process.
    The following cases are observed:
    1.PHY 1000BASE-T Status Register Remote receiver status bit is NG.
    (NG status becomes OK after about 200 - 700ms)
    2.In this case, the transfer packet is silently dropped.
    
    1000BASE-T Status register
    [Expected]: 0x3800 or 0x7800
    [problem occurred]: 0x2800 or 0x6800
    Frequency of occurrence: approx 1/10 - 1/40 observed
    
    In order to avoid this problem,
    wait until 1000BASE-T Status register "Remote receiver status OK"
    
    After applying this patch, at least 400 runs succeed with no problems.
