e1000e: implement MDI/MDI-X control
Some users report issues with link failing when connected to certain switches. This gives the user the ability to control the MDI state from the driver, allowing users to work around some improperly behaving switches. Forcing in this driver is for now only allowed when auto-neg is enabled. This is in regards to the related ethtool app patch and bugzilla.kernel.org bug 11998 Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> CC: bruce.w.allan@intel.com CC: n.poppelier@xs4all.nl CC: bastien@durel.org CC: jsveiga@it.eng.br Tested-by: Aaron Brown aaron.f.brown@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
