    [PATCH] tg3: fix ASF heartbeat · 28fbef78
    Michael Chan authored
    
    
    Change the ASF heart beat to 5 seconds for faster detection of system
    crash. The driver sends the heartbeat every 2 seconds and the ASF
    firmware will timeout and reset the device if no heartbeat is received
    after 5 seconds. The old scheme of 2 minutes is ineffective.
    
    tg3_write_mem_fast() is added to speed up the IO to send the heartbeat.
    When no workaround is needed, it will use direct MMIO to memory space
    to write to memory.
