Several customers have reported a link flap issue on 82579. The symptoms
are random and intermittent link losses when 82579 is connected to specific
link partners. Issue has been root caused as interoperability problem
between 82579 and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient
Ethernet wake mechanism.
To fix the issue, we are disabling the Phase Locked Loop shutdown in 100M
Low Power Idle. This solution will cause an increase of power in 100M EEE
link. It will cost additional 28mW in this specific mode.

In commit 772d05c51c "e1000e: slow performance
between two 82579 connected via 10Mbit hub", a workaround was put into place
to address the overaggressive transmit behavior of 82579 parts when connecting
at 10Mbs half-duplex.
This same behavior is seen on i217 and i218 parts as well. This patch expands
the original workaround to encompass these parts.

Previous commit c3a0dce35a fixed an overrun for the RAR on i218 devices.
This commit also attempted to homogenize the RAR/SHRA access for all parts
accessed by the e1000e driver. This change introduced an error for
assigning MAC addresses to guest OS's for 82579 devices.
Only RAR[0] is accessible to the driver for 82579 parts, and additional
addresses must be placed into the SHRA[L|H] registers. The rar_entry_count
was changed in the previous commit to an inaccurate value that accounted
for all RAR and SHRA registers, not just the ones usable by the driver.
This patch fixes the count to the correct value and adjusts the
e1000_rar_set_pch2lan() function to user the correct index.

ULP is a power saving feature that reduces the power consumption of the
PHY when a cable is not connected.
ULP is gated on the following conditions:
1) The hardware must support ULP. Currently this is only I218
devices from Intel
2) ULP is initiated by the driver, so, no driver results in no ULP.
3) ULP's implementation utilizes Runtime Power Management to toggle its
execution. ULP is enabled/disabled based on the state of Runtime PM.
4) ULP is not active when wake-on-unicast, multicast or broadcast is active
as these features are mutually-exclusive.
Since the PHY is in an unavailable state while ULP is active, any access
of the PHY registers will fail. This is resolved by utilizing kernel
calls that cause the device to exit Runtime PM (e.g. pm_runtime_get_sync)
and then, after PHY access is complete, allow the device to resume
Runtime PM (e.g. pm_runtime_put_sync).
Under certain conditions, toggling the LANPHYPC is necessary to disable
ULP mode. Break out existing code to toggle LANPHYPC to a new function
to avoid code duplication.

Enabling EEE LPI sooner than one second after link up on 82579 causes link
issues with some switches.
Remove EEE enablement for 82579 parts from the link initialization flow to
avoid initializing too early. EEE initialization for 82579 will be done
in e1000e_update_phy_task.

When copying the MAC RAR registers to PHY there is an error in the
calculation of the rar_entry_count, which causes a write of unknown/
undefined register space in the MAC to unknown/undefined register space in
the PHY.
This patch fixes the overrun with writing to the PHY RAR and also fixes the
ethtool offline register tests so that the correctly addressed registers
have the appropriate bitmasks for R/W and RO bits for affected parts.
Shawn Rader gets credit for finding and fixing the register overrun.

Tx hang is an unintended consequence of another workaround that is in the
EEPROM for an issue with the firmware at 10Mbps when K1 (a power mode of
the MAC-PHY interconnect) is enabled. The issue is resolved by setting
appropriate Tx re-transmission timeouts in the PHY and associated K1 entry
times in the MAC to allow enough transmissions to occur without triggering
a Tx hang. A similar change is needed when linked at 10Mbps to improve
latency.

Devices supported by the driver which support EEE (currently 82579, I217
and I218) are advertising EEE capabilities during auto-negotiation even
when EEE has been disabled. In addition to not acting as expected, this
also caused the EEE status reported by 'ethtool --show-eee' to be wrong
when two of these devices are connected back-to-back and EEE is disabled
on one. In addition to fixing this issue, the ability for the user to
specify which speeds (100 or 1000 full-duplex) to advertise EEE support
has been added.

Two 82579 LOMs connected via a 10Mb hub experience extraordinarily low
performance. This is because 82579 is excessively aggressive on transmit
at 10Mb half-duplex and will not provide sufficient time for the link
partner to transmit. When the link partner is also 82579, the result is a
lot of collisions (and corresponding re-transmits) that cause the poor
performance. To work-around this issue, significantly increase the IPG in
the MAC to allow enough gap for the link partner to transmit and reduce the
Rx latency in the analog PHY to 0 to reduce the number of collisions.

At 1000Mbps link speed, one of the MAC's internal clocks can be stopped for
up to 4us when entering K1 (a power mode of the MAC-PHY interconnect). If
the MAC is waiting for completion indications for 2 DMA write requests into
Host memory (e.g. descriptor writeback or Rx packet writing) and the
indications occur while the clock is stopped, both indications will be
missed by the MAC causing the MAC to wait for the completion indications
and be unable to generate further DMA write requests. This results in an
apparent hardware hang.
Work-around the issue by disabling the de-assertion of the clock request
when 1000Mbps link is acquired (K1 must be disabled while doing this).

ICH9/82567, ICH10/82567, 82577, 82578, 82579, I217, I218) to the new
ich8lan.h header file (the convention for Intel wired ethernet drivers is
to use the name of the first device in the family for related file and
function names). These defines and function prototypes can be used by
other files in the driver and moving them to the ICH/PCH-family-specific
file makes it clearer to which devices they are applicable.
