[38/38] e1000e: workaround for packet drop on 82579 at 100Mbps

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Oct 11 2011 - 13:07:54 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 0ed013e28fe853244f4972cf18d8e2bd62eeb8fc upstream.

The MAC can drop short packets when the PHY detects noise on the line at
100Mbps due to a timing issue. Workaround the issue by increasing the PLL
counter so the PHY properly recognizes the synchronization pattern from the
MAC.
