Dear maintainer,

I’m developing device which is based on ARM processor and the processor
supports PCI Express root-port.
I’m trying to install Intel X520-SR2 adapter on this device(Linux) but there
is problem when ixgbe driver probe device.
Here is brief system configuration.

        Processor : ARM SoC (Cortex-A15, ARMv7)
        Adapter : Intel® ETHERNET SERVER ADAPTER X520-SR2 
                (/w Intel DUAL RATE 1G/10G SFP+ SR : AFBR-703SDZ-IN2)
        OS : Linux Kernel 3.9.0-rc4

I attached console log. (DEBUG definition added to driver to turn on
additional message) 
In the log, I noticed some Eeprom log,

        [   10.430000] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0 (unregistered net_device): Eeprom
params: type = 1, size = 0, address bits: 16

So I checked code below, and found (with hw debugger) not only EEC but also
all other registers were filed with 0xffffffff

        [ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c ]
        s32 ixgbe_init_eeprom_params_generic(struct ixgbe_hw *hw)
                ……
                eec = IXGBE_READ_REG(hw, IXGBE_EEC)

It seemed to me there was problem on reading Eeprom but I couldn’t go
further because I have no idea what is this Eeprom and how it could be read.
Please shed some light on this and give me any clue where can I start debug
from.
I have datasheet of 82599 (Intel Website) but don’t have X520 adapter
datasheet or user-manual.
I would appreciate if you allow me to receive such document.

Best regards,
Minho Ban
