[ Upstream commit 8d5cfd7f76a2414e23c74bb8858af7540365d985 ] At least on the i350 there is an annoying behavior that is maybe also present on 82580 devices, but was probably not noticed yet as MAS is not widely used. If no cable is connected on both fiber/copper ports the media auto sense code will constantly swap between them as part of the watchdog task and produce many unnecessary kernel log messages. The swap code responsible for this behavior (switching to fiber) should not be executed if the current media type is copper and there is no signal detected on the fiber port. In this case we can safely wait until the AUTOSENSE_EN bit is cleared.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
