[TG3]: Speed up SRAM access (2nd version)
Speed up SRAM read and write functions if possible by using MMIO instead of config. cycles. With this change, the post reset signature done at the end of D3 power change must now be moved before the D3 power change. IBM reported a problem on powerpc blades during ethtool self test that was caused by the memory test taking excessively long. Config. cycles are very slow on powerpc and the memory test can take more than 10 seconds to complete using config. cycles. David Miller informed me that an earlier version of the patch caused problems on sparc64 systems with built-in tg3 chips. This version fixes the problem by excluding all SUN built-in tg3 chips from doing MMIO SRAM access. TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT is also set unconditionally when TG3_FLG2_SUN_570X is set. This should be sane as all SUN chips are built-in and do not require Vaux switching. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
