    [TG3]: Speed up SRAM access (2nd version) · bbadf503

    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.
