    net: aquantia: Regression on reset with 1.x firmware · cce96d18
    Igor Russkikh 提交于
    On ASUS XG-C100C with 1.5.44 firmware a special mode called "dirty wake"
    is active. With this mode when motherboard gets powered (but no poweron
    happens yet), NIC automatically enables powersave link and watches
    for WOL packet.
    This normally allows to powerup the PC after AC power failures.
    
    Not all motherboards or bios settings gives power to PCI slots,
    so this mode is not enabled on all the hardware.
    
    4.16 linux driver introduced full hardware reset sequence
    This is required since before that we had no NIC hardware
    reset implemented and there were side effects of "not clean start".
    
    But this full reset is incompatible with "dirty wake" WOL feature
    it keeps the PHY link in a special mode forever. As a consequence,
    driver sees no link and no traffic.
    
    To fix this we forcibly change FW state to idle state before doing
    the full reset. This makes FW to restore link state.
