While the driver is probing the adapter, an error may occur before the
netdev structure is allocated and attached to pci_dev. In this case,
not only netdev isn't available, but the tg3 private structure is also
not available as it is just math from the NULL pointer, so dereferences
must be skipped.

The following trace is seen when the error is triggered:

<title>Revert "net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phydev from struct net_device"</title>

<id>bf1a85a8381a0f749aa321d7881b456b36eb398d</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 62469c76007e ("net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phydev
from struct net_device") because it causes GENETv1/2/3 adapters to
expose the following behavior after an ifconfig down/up sequence:

PING fainelli-linux (10.112.156.244): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.352 ms
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.472 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.496 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.517 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.536 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.557 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=752.448 ms (DUP!)

This was previously fixed by commit 5dbebbb44a6a ("net: bcmgenet:
Software reset EPHY after power on") but the commit we are reverting was
essentially making this previous commit void, here is why.

Without commit 62469c76007e we would have the following scenario after
an ifconfig down then up sequence:

- bcmgenet_open() calls bcmgenet_power_up() to make sure the PHY is
  initialized *before* we get to initialize the UniMAC, this is
  critical to ensure the PHY is in a correct state, priv-&gt;phydev is
  valid, this code executes fine

- second time from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), through the normal
  phy_init_hw() call (which arguably could be optimized out)

Everything is fine in that case. With commit 62469c76007e, we would have
the following scenario to happen after an ifconfig down then up
sequence:

- bcmgenet_close() calls phy_disonnect() which makes dev-&gt;phydev become
  NULL

- when bcmgenet_open() executes again and calls bcmgenet_mii_reset() from
  bcmgenet_power_up() to initialize the internal PHY, the NULL check
  becomes true, so we do not reset the PHY, yet we keep going on and
  initialize the UniMAC, causing MAC activity to occur

- we call bcmgenet_mii_reset() from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), but this is
  too late, the PHY is botched, and causes the above bogus pings/packets
  transmission/reception to occur

<id>3ac72b7b63d57b231dda1e8f8d13872e0d7e8603</id>
<content type='text'>
The FEC receive accelerator (RACC) supports shifting the data payload of
received packets by 16-bits, which aligns the payload (IP header) on a
4-byte boundary, which is, if not required, at least strongly suggested
by the Linux networking layer.

Without this patch, a huge number of alignment faults will be taken by the
IP stack, as seen in /proc/cpu/alignment:

	~/$ cat /proc/cpu/alignment
	User:		0
	System:		72645 (inet_gro_receive+0x104/0x27c)
	Skipped:	0
	Half:		0
	Word:		0
	DWord:		0
	Multi:		72645
	User faults:	3 (fixup+warn)

This patch was suggested by Andrew Lunn in this message to linux-netdev:

This patch cleans devlink resources by calling devlink_port_unregister()
to avoid the following issues:

- Kernel panic when triggering reset flow.
- Memory leak due to unfreed resources in mlx4_init_port_info().

to avoid the following issues:

- Kernel panic when triggering reset flow.
- Memory leak due to unfreed resources in mlx4_init_port_info().

We were missing check for 25G and 100G while checking port speed,
which lead to less number of queues getting allocated for 25G &amp; 100G
adapters and leading to low throughput. Adding the missing check for
both NIC and vNIC driver.

Also fixes port advertisement for 25G and 100G in ethtool output.

Commit fe56b9e6a8d95 ("qed: Add module with basic common support")
has introduced a stack corruption during probe, where filling a
local struct with data to be sent to management firmware is incorrectly
filled; The data is written outside of the struct and corrupts
the stack.

Changes from v1:
----------------
 - Correct the value written [Caught by David Laight]

E-switch mode changes involve creating HW tables, potentially allocating
netdevices, etc, and things can fail. Add an attempt to rollback to the
existing mode when changing to the new mode fails. Only if rollback fails,
getting proper SRIOV functionality requires module unload or sriov
disablement/enablement.

When enablement of the SRIOV e-switch in certain mode (switchdev or legacy)
fails, we must set the mode to none. Otherwise, we'll run into double free
based crashes when further attempting to deal with the e-switch (such
as when disabling sriov or unloading the driver).
