Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the
chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code
to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is
causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the
driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race
exists on open since we come up from a power on.
This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of
tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a
power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be
present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if
the device does not have firmware.

It was recently found out that GSO on 57710/57711 was broken, due to packets
being sent without a valid IP checksum.
Commit 057cf65 "bnx2x: Fix GSO for 57710/57711 chips" partially fixed this
issue, but failed to set the correct IP checksum when receiving GSO packets
via bridges, as such packets enter bnx2x_tx_split() and the FW flags needed
to calculate IP checksum were erroneously set in the incorrect
buffer descriptor.
This patch re-enables GSO in said scenario for 57710/57711 chips.

After resetting the device, the driver waits for a signature to be
updated to know that firmware has completed initialization. However, the
call to tg3_poll_fw() is being done too late and we're writing to the
GRC_MODE register before it has completely initialized, causing
contention with firmware. This logic has existed since day one but is
causing PCIE link to go down randomly at startup on one platform once
every few hundred reboots.
Move the tg3_poll_fw() up to before we write to the GRC_MODE register
after reset.

Starting with commit 91226790bb
`bnx2x: use FW 7.8.17', the bnx2x driver no longer requests the FW to perform
IP checksums for IPv4 packets.
This behaviour needs to be revised for 57710/57711 chips -
when using GSO, if the driver will not set the IP checksum flag then packets
will be transmitted by the chip without a valid IP checksum, resulting in
a drop of all such packets on the receiver-side.

In scenarios in which a previous driver was removed without proper cleanup
(e.g., kdump), it is possible for the chip to generate an interrupt without
any apparent reason once interrupts are requested.
Due to an erroneous initialization of resources, some of the bnx2x structs
which are required for interrupt handling are initialized only after an
interface's interrupt is requested from the OS.
As a result, once such a spurious interrupt occurs, it will cause a NULL
pointer dereference - the driver will access those structs in its interrupt
handling routine.
This patch change the interrupt request scheme so that bnx2x would only
request interrupts from the kernel after it has finished initializing
all the inner structs required for interrupt handling.

This patch introduces a more robust error handling flow in case of incorrect
behaviour by the FW when passing on GRO aggregations.
Although this should never happen (i.e., this is merely a theoretical fix),
if the bnx2x driver was to receive a GRO from FW with protocol other than
IPv4/IPv6, the driver would falsely claim to have performed partial
checksum and set various incorrect fields in the skb header.
Current behaviour of the bnx2x driver (i.e., print an error) is insufficient.
This patch remedies this by simply preventing the false claims.

When loading after UNDI (e.g., Boot from SAN) the UNDI does not
gracefully yield its resources; The bnx2x driver handles that release
itself.
During the manipulation required to release those resources, it's possible
for the UNDI to try and write to memory regions which are no longer accessible,
causing the PCI bus to prevent further writes from the chip.
This would in turn cause DMAE timeouts later on in the driver, as the driver
will be unable to use the chip's DMA engines.
This patch prevents the chip from actually writing through the PCI bus
in said scenario, thus allowing the release without the unfortunate by-product.

If a device is working in AFEX mode and its configuration allows FCoE yet

Normally on driver load, we set the default settings for speed and flow
control. However, if the default setting is not compatible with the current link
state, we would autonegotiate and cause a link flap. To avoid this, we
pull the current advertised settings into the config.
A second scenario is if a user changes the speed/duplex/fc settings when
the interface is down. In this case we must not pull the settings from
the phy and overwrite user settings. We avoid that by checking the
USER_CONFIGURED flag.

This patch and the following two patches add support for link flap avoidance
by maintaining the link on power down. This feature is required for
management capable devices to have the management connection
uninterrupted on driver reload, reboot and interface up/down.
The other pros of this feature are
- It speeds up boot up time by several seconds as DHCP addresses can be
acquired faster.
- It avoids lengthy Spanning Tree delay.
On powerup the hardware brings up the phy with default settings. If the
link is not up, the management software configures the phy to gigabit
and starts autonegotiate. Subsequently, as long as the link is up, the
driver and management refrain from resetting and/or changing any
configuration that the link depends on.
The LNK_FLAP_AVOID setting is an NVRAM user configurable bit and is
disabled by default. If this setting is enabled, we skip powering down
the phy and resetting it.
A second NVRAM setting is 1G_ON_VAUX_OK (off by default). This adds
support for gigabit link speed when device is on auxiliary power.
