igb: When GbE link up, wait for Remote receiver status condition I210 device IPv6 autoconf test sometimes fails, because DAD NS for link-local is not transmitted. This packet is silently dropped. This problem is seen only GbE environment. igb_watchdog_task link up detection continues to the following process. The following cases are observed: 1.PHY 1000BASE-T Status Register Remote receiver status bit is NG. (NG status becomes OK after about 200 - 700ms) 2.In this case, the transfer packet is silently dropped. 1000BASE-T Status register [Expected]: 0x3800 or 0x7800 [problem occurred]: 0x2800 or 0x6800 Frequency of occurrence: approx 1/10 - 1/40 observed In order to avoid this problem, wait until 1000BASE-T Status register "Remote receiver status OK" After applying this patch, at least 400 runs succeed with no problems.
