This patch addresses a modification in the PAPR+ specification which now
defines a previously reserved value for vNIC capabilities. It indicates
whether the system firmware performs a VLAN header stripping on all VLAN
tagged received frames, in case it does, the behavior expected is for
the ibmvnic driver to be responsible for inserting the VLAN header.

Currently driver use phy_start_aneg() in arc_emac_open() to bring

Besides that it call phy_start_aneg() as part of PHY startup sequence
it also can correctly bring up PHY from error and suspended states.
So the patch replace phy_start_aneg() to phy_start().
Also the patch add call to phy_stop() to arc_emac_stop() to allow

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-04-19
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only, most notable being
the addition of trace points for BPF programs.
Tobias Klauser updates i40evf to use net_device stats struct instead
of a local private copy.
Preethi updates the VF driver to not enable receive checksum offload by
default for tunneled packets.
Alex fixes an issue he introduced when he converted the code over to
using the length field to determine if a descriptor was done or not.
Mitch adds the ability to dump additional information on the VFs, which
is not available through 'ip link show' using debugfs.
Scott adds trace points to the drivers so that BPF programs can be
attached for feature testing and verification.
Jingjing adds admin queue functions for Pipeline Personalization Profile
commands.
Jake does most of the heavy lifting in this series, starting with the
a reduction in the scope of the RTNL lock being held while resetting VFs
to allow multiple PFs to reset in a timely manner. Factored out the
direct queue modification so that we are able to re-use the code.
Reduced the wait time for admin queue commands to complete, since we were
waiting a minimum of a millisecond, when in practice the admin queue
command is processed often much faster. Cleaned up code (flag) we never
use. Make the code to resetting all the VFs optimized for parallel
computing instead of the current way is a serialized fashion, to help
reduce the time it takes.

This state bit was added as a way for DCB to avoid having to wait for
the queues to disable when handling LLDP events. The logic for this was
burried deep within stop Tx and stop Rx queue code. First, let's rename
it so that it does not appear to only affect Tx when infact it modifies
both Tx and Rx flow. Second we can move it up into the i40e_stop_rings()
function, and we can simply re-use the i40e_stop_rings_no_wait() so that
we don't have to bury the implementation as deep into the call stack.
An alternative might be to remove the state bit and instead attempt to
shut down everything directly in DCP flow. This, however, is not ideal
because it creates yet another separate shutdown routine that we'd have
to maintain. In the current implementation any changes will be made to
both flows.

When there are a lot of active VFs, it can take multiple seconds to
finish resetting all of them during certain flows., which can cause some
VFs to fail to wait long enough for the reset to occur. The user might
see messages like "Never saw reset" or "Reset never finished" and the VF
driver will stop functioning properly.
The naive solution would be to simply increase the wait timer. We can
get much more clever. Notice that i40e_reset_vf is run in a serialized
fashion, and includes lots of delays.
There are two prominent delays which take most of the time. First, when
we begin resetting VFs, we have multiple 10ms delays which accrue
because we reset each VF in a serial fashion. These delays accumulate to
almost 4 seconds when handling the maximum number of VFs (128).
Secondly, there is a massive 50ms delay for each time we disable queues
on a VSI. This delay is necessary to allow HW to finish disabling queues
before we restore functionality. However, just like with the first case,
we are paying the cost for each VF, rather than disabling all VFs and
waiting once.
Both of these can be fixed, but required some previous refactoring to
handle the special case. First, we will need the
i40e_vsi_wait_queues_disabled function which was previously DCB
specific. Second, we will need to implement our own
i40e_vsi_stop_rings_no_wait function which will handle the stopping of
rings without the delays.
Finally, implement an i40e_reset_all_vfs function, which will first
start the reset of all VFs, and pay the wait cost all at once, rather
than serially waiting for each VF before we start processing then next
one. After the VF has been reset, we'll disable all the VF queues, and
then wait for them to disable. Again, we'll organize the flow such that
we pay the wait cost only once.
Finally, after we've disabled queues we'll go ahead and begin restoring
VF functionality. The result is reducing the wait time by a large factor
and ensuring that VFs do not timeout when waiting in the VF driver.

When sending an adminq command, we wait for the command to complete in
a loop. This loop waits for an entire millisecond, when in practice the
adminq command is processed often much faster.
Change the loop to use i40e_usec_delay instead, and wait for 50 usecs
each time instead. This appears to be about the minimum time required,
based on some manual observation and testing.
The primary benefit of this change is reducing latency of various
operations in the PF driver, especially when related to having a large
number of VFs enabled.
For example, on Linux, when instantiating 128 VFs, the time to finish
the operation dropped from about 9 seconds down to under 6 seconds.
Additionally, the time it takes to finish a PF reset with 128 VFs
dropped from 5.1 seconds down to 0.7 seconds.
As the examples above show, a significant portion of the delay is wasted
waiting for admiqn operations which have already finished.
This patch shouldn't cause impact to functionality, as we still check
and keep waiting until the command does get processed. The only expected
change is an increase in CPU utilization as we now check for completion
far more times. However, in practice the commands appear to generally be
complete within the first delay window anyways.
