e1000: fix sw fw sync on igb i210/i211

I finally had a look at the datasheet and spotted an additional register address difference between regular E1000 and i210/i211 chips. This patch fixes this and now successfully works on programmed i210/i211 as well as unprogrammed i211.

Please note that unprogrammed i210 seem to behave slightly different and do not assert the CFG_DONE bit in the EEMNGCTL register upon PHY reset. However if this error condition is ignored then successful data transfer is possible. Due to the rather hacky nature thereof this is not addressed by my patch.

BTW: What about my previous patch this one kind of bases on?

I've never been able to get e1000_swfw_sync_acquire() to not timeout on the boards with i210 devices that I have (IMX6 with 2x i210 programmed as 8086:1533 using int phys).

In my case with your patch
below as well as York's patch
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/400628/) I still see failures. The I210_SW_FW_SYNC reg returns swfw_sync=0x03, fwmask=0x20000, and swmask=0x2 which results in:

Driver can't access resource, SW_FW_SYNC timeout. Unable to acquire swfw sync
Error Resetting the PHY
e1000: e1000#0: ERROR: Hardware Initialization Failed

I've always had to ignore the return value from e1000_reset() to avoid this issue and use the devices.

Any ideas?

I don't have any i211's but I'll see if I can get hold of an unprogrammed i210 to test with.

Ah, OK. I see. We do use them in flash less aka iNVM only mode as 8086:157b.

As mentioned before for me only the unprogrammed i210 gives me grief as it does not assert the CFG_DONE bit in the EEMNGCTL register upon PHY reset. However the e1000_swfw_sync_acquire() always works just fine.

Maybe the flash less aka iNVM only i210 behaves differently.

Let me enquire Intel about this as well, I anyway need to ask our rep about the latest eepromARM programming tool as we have an upcoming production lot of a few thousand units arrive any minute now.

Sure, would be interesting to see whether yours behave equally.

I finally had a look at the datasheet and spotted an additional register address difference between regular E1000 and i210/i211 chips. This patch fixes this and now successfully works on programmed i210/i211 as well as unprogrammed i211.
