This complements patch "net-forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX
pause on down link" which ensures that a lock-up sequence is not sent
to the NIC. Present patch ensures that if a NIC is already locked-up,
the driver will recover from it when initializing the device.
It does the equivalent of the following recovery sequence:
- write NVREG_TX_PAUSEFRAME_ENABLE_V1 to eth1's register
NvRegTxPauseFrame
- write NVREG_XMITCTL_START to eth1's register
NvRegTransmitterControl
- write 0 to eth1's register NvRegTransmitterControl
(this is at the heart of the "unbricking" sequence mentioned in patch
"net-forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link")
Tested:
- hardware is MCP55 device id 10de:0373 (rev a3), dual-port
- reboot a kernel without any of patches mentioned
- freeze the NIC (details on description for commit "net-forcedeth:
fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link")
- wait 5mn until ping hangs & TX timeout in dmesg
- reboot on kernel with present patch
- host is immediatly operational, no TX timeout
