<title>sky2: support for new Optima chipsets (EXPERIMENTAL)</title>

<id>4fb99cd6ac4fe6d03a334a6f4ebb2bbfc4b479ed</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a backport from the vendor driver of support for the newer Optima
(Prime and 2) chipsets. It also includes some setup changes for the
current Optima chip as well. The code and comments intentionally
mirror the vendor sk98lin driver to allow for easier maintenance.

Although this adds support for new chip id's, these chip id's are not
used by any of the current PCI device id's listed in the driver.
The patch is just to get initial infrastructure in place to handle them
when they come.

I don't have access to any of this hardware to actually test it yet.

This is another fix picked out of the vendor driver. The IPG value
in the serial mode register is supposed to be programmed differently
at lower speeds.

Found when reviewing the vendor driver. Apparently some chip versions
require receive checksumming to be enabled in order for RSS to work.

Also, if fix_features has to change some settings; put in message
in log in similar manner to netdev_fix_features.

The PCIE capability offset is saved during PCI bus walking.  It will
remove an unnecessary search in the PCI configuration space if this
value is referenced instead of reacquiring it.  Also, pci_is_pcie is a
better way of determining if the device is PCIE or not (as it uses the
same saved PCIE capability offset).

<title>ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API</title>

<id>707394972093e2056e1e8cc39be19cf9bcb3e7b3</id>
<content type='text'>
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
instead.

For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.

Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work

<title>ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identification</title>

<id>fce55922f5299a04c0a56b170a141fab34f13465</id>
<content type='text'>
When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the
mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation,
it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states.  Some drivers
may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals.  This patch
changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it
is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to
cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been
converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for
identifying an adapter.

The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based
on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id.

Compile tested only.  Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc.

v2: drivers do not return -EINVAL for ETHOOL_ID_ACTIVE
v3: fold patchset into single patch and cleanup per Ben's feedback
