intel drivers: repair missing flush operations

2011-08-04T11:59:07+00:00

after review of all intel drivers, found several instances where
drivers had the incorrect pattern of:
memory mapped write();
delay();

which should always be:
memory mapped write();
write flush(); /* aka memory mapped read */
delay();

explanation:
The reason for including the flush is that writes can be held
(posted) in PCI/PCIe bridges, but the read always has to complete
synchronously and therefore has to flush all pending writes to a
device.  If a write is held and followed by a delay, the delay
means nothing because the write may not have reached hardware
(maybe even not until the next read)

e1000e: access multiple PHY registers on same page at the same time

2011-06-10T03:33:36+00:00

Doing a PHY page select can take a long time, relatively speaking. This
can cause a significant delay when updating a number of PHY registers on
the same page by unnecessarily setting the page for each PHY access. For
example when going to Sx, all the PHY wakeup registers (WUC, RAR[], MTA[],
SHRAR[], IP4AT[], IP6AT[], etc.) on 82577/8/9 need to be updated which
takes a long time which can cause issues when suspending.

This patch introduces new PHY ops function pointers to allow callers to
set the page directly and do any number of PHY accesses on that page.
This feature is currently only implemented for 82577, 82578 and 82579
PHYs for both the normally addressed registers as well as the special-
case addressing of the PHY wakeup registers on page 800. For the latter
registers, the existing function for accessing the wakeup registers has
been divided up into three- 1) enable access to the wakeup register page,
2) perform the register access and 3) disable access to the wakeup register
page. The two functions that enable/disable access to the wakeup register
page are necessarily available to the caller so that the caller can restore
the value of the Port Control (a.k.a. Wakeup Enable) register after the
wakeup register accesses are done.

All instances of writing to multiple PHY registers on the same page are
updated to use this new method and to acquire any PHY locking mechanism
before setting the page and performing the register accesses, and release
the locking mechanism afterward.

Some affiliated magic number cleanup is done as well.

e1000e: convert short duration msleep() to usleep_range()

2011-04-14T02:17:06+00:00

With durations less than 20ms, the jiffies or legacy timer backed msleep()
may sleep ~20ms which might not be what the caller expects.  Instead, it
is recommended to use the hrtimers backed usleep_range().  For more, see
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt.  Issues reported by checkpatch.

In addition, remove unnecessary sleep in e1000e_write_nvm_spi().

e1000e: reduce scope of some variables, remove unnecessary ones

2011-01-24T08:13:56+00:00

Static analysis of the driver code found some variables for which the scope
can be reduced, or remove the variable altogether.

a couple whitespace issue with two already existing calls to e1e_wphy.
