auto polling such that it made all controllers obtain link status information from the state of the LNKRDY input signal. Broadcom recommends disabling auto polling such that driver should rely on PHY interrupts for link status change indications. Unfortunately it seems some controllers(BCM5703, BCM5704 and BCM5705) have PHY related issues so Linux took other approach to workaround it. bge(4) didn't follow that and it used to enable auto polling to workaround it. Restore this old behavior for BCM5700 family controllers and BCM5705 to use auto polling. For BCM5700 and BCM5701, it seems it does not need to enable auto polling but I restored it for safety. Special thanks to marius who tried lots of patches with patience. Reported by: marius Tested by: marius |
