e1000e: disable broken PHY wakeup for ICH10 LOMs, use MAC wakeup instead

2011-03-07T23:05:26+00:00

commit 4def99bbfd46e05c5e03b5b282cb4ee30e27ff19 upstream.

When support for 82577/82578 was added[1] in 2.6.31, PHY wakeup was in-
advertently enabled (even though it does not function properly) on ICH10
LOMs.  This patch makes it so that the ICH10 LOMs use MAC wakeup instead
as was done with the initial support for those devices (i.e. 82567LM-3,
82567LF-3 and 82567V-4).

r8169: disable ASPM

2011-03-07T23:05:26+00:00

commit ba04c7c93bbcb48ce880cf75b6e9dffcd79d4c7b upstream.

For some time is known that ASPM is causing troubles on r8169, i.e. make
device randomly stop working without any errors in dmesg.

Currently Tomi Leppikangas reports that system with r8169 device hangs
with MCE errors when ASPM is enabled:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642861#c4

Lets disable ASPM for r8169 devices at all, to avoid problems with
r8169 PCIe devices at least for some users.

ath9k_htc: Fix an endian issue

2011-03-07T23:05:24+00:00

commit 2c27392dc4d4f5ee8a3967a520b8f6cac0418031 upstream.

The stream length/tag fields have to be in little endian
format. Fixing this makes the driver work on big-endian
platforms.

tg3: Restrict phy ioctl access

2011-03-07T23:05:23+00:00

commit ed199facd070f8e551dc16a2ae1baa01d8d28ed4 upstream.

If management firmware is present and the device is down, the firmware
will assume control of the phy.  If a phy access were allowed from the
host, it will collide with firmware phy accesses, resulting in
unpredictable behavior.  This patch fixes the problem by disallowing phy
accesses during the problematic condition.

e1000e: 82579 PHY incorrectly identified during init

2011-03-07T23:05:21+00:00

commit 664dc878ed6f0476b875547547a49e06f7a4e73b upstream.

During init, reading the 2 PHY ID registers back-to-back in the default
fast mode could return invalid data (all F's) and in slow mode could
return data to the second read the data from the first read.  To resolve
the issue in fast mode, set to slow mode before any PHY accesses; to
resolve the issue in slow mode, put in a delay for every 82579 PHY access.
Since this PHY is currently only paired with the pch2lan MAC and the PHY
type is not known before the first PHY access which can fail this way,
check for this based on MAC-type.

iwl3945: remove plcp check

2011-02-24T22:54:32+00:00

commit c91d01556f52255a31575be0cb1981c92a2a5028 upstream.

Patch fixes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654599

Many users report very low speed problem on 3945 devices,
this patch fixes problem, but only for some of them.

For unknown reason, sometimes after hw scanning, device is not able
to receive frames at high rate. Since plcp health check may request
hw scan to "reset radio", performance problem start to be observable
after update kernel to .35, where plcp check was introduced.

Bug reporter confirmed that removing plcp check fixed problem for him.
