When MANA is being probed, it's possible that hardware is in recovery
mode and the device may get GDMA_EQE_HWC_RESET_REQUEST over HWC

in the

middle of the probe. Detect such condition and go through the recovery
service procedure.

Fixes: fbe346ce9d62 ("net: mana: Handle Reset Request from MANA NIC")

If this is a fix, should it be targeted at net rather than net-next?

Alternatively, if it is not a fix for net, then I suggest dropping the Fixes tag and
adding something about commit fbe346ce9d62 ("net: mana:
Handle Reset Request from MANA NIC") to the patch description, above the
tags (with a blank line in between).

Can we keep the "Fixes" tag and queue the patch to net-next?

There are other MANA patches pending in net-next and they will conflict with each other when merging.

Thank you,
Long

Changes
v2: Use a list for handling multiple devices.
    Use disable_delayed_work_sync() on driver exit.
    Replace atomic_t with flags to detect if interrupt happens before
probe finishes

v3: Rebase to latest net-next. Change list_for_each_entry_safe() to

while(!list_empty()).

Code changes look good to me.
