bnx2x: Fix intermittent long KR2 link up time
When a KR2 device is connected to a KR link-partner, sometimes it requires disabling KR2 for the link to come up. To get a KR2 link up later, in case no base pages are seen, the KR2 is restored. The problem was that some link partners cleared their advertised BP/NP after around two seconds, causing the driver to disable/enable KR2 link all the time. The fix was to wait at least 5 seconds before checking KR2 recovery. Signed-off-by: Yaniv Rosner <yanivr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
