The default MDIO clock speed is not valid, therefore + the driver is configuring a valid speed prior to reading the copper + PHY device id. + +* **ixgbe/base: Fixed subtle semaphore error in the CS4227 reset flow.** + +* **ixgbe/base: Removed driver config of KX4 PHY.** + The KX4 PHY will be configured by the NVM image. The driver + had been overwriting this config. + +* **ixgbe/base: Avoid needless PHY access on copper phys.** + Avoid a needless PHY access on copper phys to save the 10ms wait + time for each PHY access. A helper function is introduced to + actually do the register access and process the contents. + +* **ixgbe/base: Removed duplicate setting for fdir no match drop.** + + Do not set FDIRCTRL.DROP_NO_MATCH in ixgbe_init_fdir_perfect_82599(), + this bit is already set in ixgbe_set_fdir_drop_queue_82599() which + makes more sense for drivers that call that function. + This resolves an issue where packets were being dropped when switching + to perfect filters mode. + +* **ixgbe/base: Always turn PHY power on when requested.** + + Instead of not defining the callback for set_phy_power when + manageability is enabled, put the check in the set_phy_power + function so that only turning the power off is conditional on + management, but not turning the PHY on. + +* **ixgbe/base: Set VF mac address only when acked by PF.** + + Resolve an issue where VF mac address is zeroed out in cases where + the VF driver is loaded while the PF interface is down. + The solution is to only set it when we get an ACK from the PF. + Libraries ~~~~~~~~~ -- 1.9.3
