For non-managed versions of 82579, set the bit that prevents the hardware
from automatically configuring the PHY after resets only when the driver
performs a reset, clear the bit after resets.  This is so the hardware can
configure the PHY automatically when the part is reset in a manner that is
not controlled by the driver (e.g. in a virtual environment via PCI FLR)
otherwise the PHY will be mis-configured causing issues such as failing to
link at 1000Mbps.
For managed versions of 82579, keep the previous behavior since the
manageability firmware will handle the PHY configuration.

<title>e1000e: 82579 jumbo frame workaround causing CRC errors</title>

The subject workaround was causing CRC errors due to writing the wrong
register with updates of the RCTL register.  It was also found that the
workaround function which modifies the RCTL register was being called in
the middle of a read-modify-write operation of the RCTL register, so the
function call has been moved appropriately.  Lastly, jumbo frames must not
be allowed when CRC stripping is disabled by a module parameter because the
workaround requires the CRC be stripped.

<title>e1000e: 82579 unaccounted missed packets</title>

On 82579, there is a hardware bug that can cause received packets to not
get transferred from the PHY to the MAC due to K1 (a power saving feature
of the PHY-MAC interconnect similar to ASPM L1).  Since the MAC controls
the accounting of missed packets, these will go unnoticed.  Workaround the
issue by setting the K1 beacon duration according to the link speed.

Two recent patches to cleanup the reset[1] and initial PHY configuration[2]
code paths for ICH/PCH devices inadvertently left out a 10msec delay and
device ID check respectively which are necessary for the 82566DC (device id
0x104b) to be configured properly, otherwise it will not get link.

Since the hardware is prevented from performing automatic PHY configuration
(the driver does it instead), the OEM_WRITE_ENABLE bit in the EXTCNF_CTRL
register will not get cleared preventing the SMBus address and the LED
configuration to be written to the PHY registers.  On 82579, do not check
the OEM_WRITE_ENABLE bit.

When going to Sx, disable gigabit in PHY (e1000_oem_bits_config_ich8lan)
in addition to the MAC before configuring PHY wakeup otherwise the PHY
configuration writes might be missed.  Also write the LED configuration
and SMBus address to the PHY registers (e1000_oem_bits_config_ich8lan and
e1000_write_smbus_addr, respectively).  The reset is no longer needed
since re-auto-negotiation is forced in e1000_oem_bits_config_ich8lan and
leaving it in causes issues with auto-negotiating the link.

The alternate MAC address feature is only supported by 80003ES2LAN and
82571 LOMs as well as a couple 82571 mezzanine cards.  Checking for an
alternate MAC address on other parts can fail leading to the driver not
able to load.  This patch limits the check for an alternate MAC address
to be done only for parts that support the feature.

This issue has been around since support for the feature was introduced
to the e1000e driver in 2.6.34.

On the e1000-devel mailing list, Nils Faerber reported latency issues with
the 82573 LOM on a ThinkPad X60.  It was found to be caused by ASPM L1;
disabling it resolves the latency.  The issue is present in kernels back
to 2.6.34 and possibly 2.6.33.
