sfc: Simplify XMAC link polling
From: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@solarflare.com> Only the XMAC on Falcon needs help from the driver to poll and reset the MAC-PHY link (XAUI); GMII is a simple parallel bus and on later NICs firmware takes care of the XAUI link. Also, an XMAC interrupt currently schedules a work item which simply clears a flag (efx_nic::mac_up) to be checked by the regular monitor (or the next link reconfiguration, if that is sooner). Rename the flag to xmac_poll_required, changing its sense. Remove the needless indirection and just set the flag immediately. Call falcon_xmac_poll() directly where required. Add a new generic operation mac_op::check_fault to check the link outside of regular monitoring, as required during self-tests. (Note that this leaves us with an unused work item, but we will immediately have another use for it.) Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
