[patch 3/3] tulip: NatSemi DP83840A PHY fix

From: <hidden>
Date: 2006-09-25 23:43:14

From: Thibaut VARENE <redacted>

Fix a problem with Tulip 21142 HP branded PCI cards (PN#: B5509-66001),
which feature a NatSemi DP83840A PHY.

Without that patch, it is impossible to properly initialize the card's PHY,
and it's thus impossible to monitor/configure it.

It's a timing/posting problem, and it is solved exactly the same way Grant
fixed it elsewhere already.

[akpm: this is a previously-nacked patch, but the problem is real]
