====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to igb and e1000e.
Akeem provides 3 igb patches, the first resets the link when EEE is enabled
or disabled if the link is up. His second patch changes a register read
which normally stores of the read value to "just-read" so that hardware
can accurately latch the register read. Lastly, he adds rcu_lock to avoid
a possible race condition with igb_update_stats function.
Mitch provides a fix for SR-IOV, where MSI-X interrupts are required, so
make sure that MSI-X is enabled before allowing the user to turn on SR-IOV.
Alex's igb patch make it so that we limit the lower bound for max_frame_size
to the size of a standard Ethernet frame. This allows for feature parity
with other Intel based drivers such as ixgbe.
Carolyn adds a SKU for a flashless i210 device and a fix for get_fw_version()
so that it works for all parts for igb. In addition, she has 2 igb patches
to refactor NVM code to accommodate devices with no flash. Lastly, she
adds code to check for the failure of pci_disable_link_state() to attempt
to work around a problem found with some systems.
Laura provides the remaining 2 igb patches. One removing the hard-coded
value for the size of the RETA indirection table, and creates a macro instead
for the RETA indirection table. The second adds the ethtool callbacks
necessary to change the RETA indirection table from userspace.
Bruce fixes a whitespace issue in a recent commit and resolves a jiffies
comparison warning by using time_after().
Li provides a fix for e1000e to avoid a kernel crash on shutdown by adding
one more check in e1000e_shutdown(). This is due to e1000e_shutdown()
trying to clear correctable errors on the upstream P2P bridge, when under
some cases we do not have the upstream P2P bridge.
v2:
- fixed patch 11 conditional statement from < to <= based on feedback
from Ben Hutchings
- fixed patch 12 patch description (adding the commit summary) based
on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov
