Subject[PATCH] e1000e: Intel 82571EB: Don't wait for MNG cycle on unmanaged chips
Date
The Intel 82571EB chipset can be used in an unmanaged configuration as a
fast dual-port Gig-E controller. Unfortunately a board constructed that
way would fail to correctly come up because the driver polls for the
completion of a management cycle that will never occur.

To resolve this problem, we disable the poll and error return on chips
whose EEPROMs indicate no management. As a protection against
misconfigured chipsets, we still delay for the entire management poll
timeout.
