BUG ? - natsemi: Allow users to disable workaround for DspCfg reset

Hi, 

i wanted to get rid of some heavy natsemi driver dmesg spamming like

Apr  1 11:50:06 debian7 kernel: [ 4400.311000] eth0: possible phy reset: re-initializing
Apr  1 11:50:06 debian7 kernel: [ 4400.311319] eth0: DSPCFG accepted after 0 usec.
Apr  1 11:50:06 debian7 kernel: [ 4400.311433] eth0: Wake-up event 0x80000b
Apr  1 11:50:06 debian7 kernel: [ 4400.311537] eth0: Setting full-duplex based on negotiated link capability.

and was happy to find a module param - but i`m confused about dspcfg_workaround parameter usage. 

i can indeed disable the spamming by setting natsemi.dspcfg_workaround=0 at boot.

but should`t /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.0/dspcfg_workaround  reflect the current state then and shouldn`t i be able to set this also via echo 0|1 or off|on >..... at runtime ? that does not seem to work. it always shows "off" and i cannot change the behaviour via this file.

regards
roland

You've sent the same message twice in quick succession...
