__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better
not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists
so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO
to the more common kernel style with zalloc.
Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent
and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead.
Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of
dma_zalloc_coherent.
Realign arguments as appropriate.

tg3_io_slot_reset
Commit d8af4dfd8 ("net/tg3: Fix kernel crash") introduced a possible
NULL pointer dereference in tg3 driver when !netdev || !netif_running(netdev)
condition is met and netdev is NULL. Then, the jump to the 'done' label
calls dev_close() with a netdevice that is NULL. Therefore, only call
dev_close() when we have a netdevice, but one that is not running.

PCI core will initialize device MSI/MSI-X capability in
pci_msi_init_pci_dev(). So device driver should use
pci_dev->msi_cap/msix_cap to determine whether the device
support MSI/MSI-X instead of using
pci_find_capability(pci_dev, PCI_CAP_ID_MSI/MSIX).
Access to PCIe device config space again will consume more time.

The PTP_CAPABLE tg3 devices have a gpio output that is toggled when the
free running counter matches a watchdog value. This patch adds support
to set the watchdog and enable this feature.
Since the output is controlled via bits in the EAV_REF_CLCK_CTL
register, we have to read-modify-write it when we stop/resume.

Previously, when the interface was brought down, the driver would set
the power state to D3hot. In D3hot, we don't have access to the NVRAM.
This patch removes the call to set the power state to PCI_D3hot in
close. A following patch will implement the shutdown handler to properly
set the D3hot state when the system is going down.
Doing the above means that the TG3_PHYFLG_IS_LOW_POWER should not be
checked to validate access to the NVRAM.

During probe, the driver is incorrectly switching the power to Vaux on
the 5717 and later devices. At this point, we are in D0 state and
drawing maximum power. We also definitely have Vmain available. It
doesn't make sense to switch to Vaux since it has a lesser maximum power
draw and we might go over the limit. On a new system, we observe that
not all ports are recognized in some of the slots with this call in
place.

When the EEH error is the result of a fenced host bridge, MMIO accesses
can be very slow (milliseconds) to timeout and return all 1's,
thus causing the driver various timeout loops to take way too long and
trigger soft-lockup warnings (in addition to taking minutes to recover).
It might be worthwhile to check if for any of these cases, ffffffff is
a valid possible value, and if not, bail early since that means the HW
is either gone or isolated. In the meantime, checking that the PCI channel
is offline would be workaround of the problem.

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().
Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.
The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

The current tg3 code assumes the pci_error_handlers to be always called
in sequence. In particular, during ->error_detected(), NAPI is disabled
and the device is shutdown. The device is later reset and NAPI
re-enabled in ->slot_reset() and ->resume().
In EEH, if more than 6 errors are detected in a hour, only
->error_detected() will be called. This will leave the driver in an
inconsistent state as NAPI is disabled but netif_running state is still
true. When the device is later closed, we'll try to disable NAPI again
and it will loop forever.
We fix this by closing the device if we encounter any error conditions
during the normal sequence of the pci_error_handlers.
v2: Remove the changes in tg3_io_resume() based on Benjamin Poirier's
feedback.

Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the
chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code
to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is
causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the
driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race
exists on open since we come up from a power on.
This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of
tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a
power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be
present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if
the device does not have firmware.

After resetting the device, the driver waits for a signature to be
updated to know that firmware has completed initialization. However, the
call to tg3_poll_fw() is being done too late and we're writing to the
GRC_MODE register before it has completely initialized, causing
contention with firmware. This logic has existed since day one but is
causing PCIE link to go down randomly at startup on one platform once
every few hundred reboots.
Move the tg3_poll_fw() up to before we write to the GRC_MODE register
after reset.

When LFA is enabled, we don't reset the phy. But EEE settings changes
don't take effect until the phy is reset. Add a phy reset when we detect
a changed EEE setting.

Normally on driver load, we set the default settings for speed and flow
control. However, if the default setting is not compatible with the current link
state, we would autonegotiate and cause a link flap. To avoid this, we
pull the current advertised settings into the config.
A second scenario is if a user changes the speed/duplex/fc settings when
the interface is down. In this case we must not pull the settings from
the phy and overwrite user settings. We avoid that by checking the
USER_CONFIGURED flag.

This patch and the following two patches add support for link flap avoidance
by maintaining the link on power down. This feature is required for
management capable devices to have the management connection
uninterrupted on driver reload, reboot and interface up/down.
The other pros of this feature are
- It speeds up boot up time by several seconds as DHCP addresses can be
acquired faster.
- It avoids lengthy Spanning Tree delay.
On powerup the hardware brings up the phy with default settings. If the
link is not up, the management software configures the phy to gigabit
and starts autonegotiate. Subsequently, as long as the link is up, the
driver and management refrain from resetting and/or changing any
configuration that the link depends on.
The LNK_FLAP_AVOID setting is an NVRAM user configurable bit and is
disabled by default. If this setting is enabled, we skip powering down
the phy and resetting it.
A second NVRAM setting is 1G_ON_VAUX_OK (off by default). This adds
support for gigabit link speed when device is on auxiliary power.

When the user executes certain ethtool commands such as -s, -A, -G, -L,
-r a phy reset or autonegotiate is performed which results in management
traffic being interrupted.
Add a warning in these cases.
