e1000e: don't check for alternate MAC addr on parts that don't support it

2010-08-26T23:43:55Z

commit 1aef70ef125165e0114a8e475636eff242a52030 upstream. From: Bruce Allan 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.

In particular, several occurances of funny versions of 'success', 'unknown', 'therefore', 'acknowledge', 'argument', 'achieve', 'address', 'beginning', 'desirable', 'separate' and 'necessary' are fixed. Signed-off-by: Daniel Mack Cc: Joe Perches Cc: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

e1000e: genericize the update multicast address list

2010-01-14T04:31:57Z

Make updating the multicast address list generic for all families and enforce the requirement to update the entire multicast table array all at once instead of piecemeal which causes problems on some parts. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: provide MAC-family-specific function to set LAN ID

2010-01-14T04:31:57Z

Provide MAC-specific function pointer to determine the LAN ID (PCI func). The LAN ID is used internally by the driver to determine which h/w lock to use to protect accessing the PHY on ESB2 as well as help to determine the alternate MAC address on some parts.

e1000e: use alternate MAC address on ESB2 if available

2010-01-14T04:31:56Z

Similar to 82571/2/3 parts that already do this, if ESB2/80003es2lan parts have an alternate MAC address provided in the EEPROM use it instead of the default MAC address. This patch makes the the actual code that does this generic so that it can be better used by both MAC families. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: fix and commonize code for setting the receive address registers

2010-01-08T08:35:31Z

Fix e1000e_rar_set() to flush consecutive register writes to avoid write combining which some parts cannot handle. Update e1000e_init_rx_addrs() to call the fixed e1000e_rar_set() instead of duplicating code. Also change e1000e_rar_set() to _not_ set the Address Valid bit if the MAC address is all zeros.

e1000e: e1000e_enable_tx_pkt_filtering() returns wrong value

2010-01-08T08:35:31Z

e1000e_enable_tx_pkt_filtering() will return a non-zero value if the driver fails to enable the manageability interface on the host for any reason; instead it should retun zero to indicate filtering has been disabled. Also provide a single exit point for the function. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: perform 10/100 adaptive IFS only on parts that support it

2010-01-08T08:35:30Z

Adaptive IFS which involves writing to the Adaptive IFS Throttle register was being done for all devices supported by the driver even though it is not supported (i.e. the register doesn't even exist) on some devices. The feature is supported on 8257x/82583 and ICH/PCH based devices, but not on ESB2. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
