If the flow control settings have been changed, a subsequent FW reset may cause the ethernet link to toggle unnecessarily. This link toggle will increase the down time by a few seconds. The problem is caused by bnxt_update_phy_setting() detecting a false mismatch in the flow control settings between the stored software settings and the current FW settings after the FW reset. This mismatch is caused by the AUTONEG bit added to link_info->req_flow_ctrl in an inconsistent way in bnxt_set_pauseparam() in autoneg mode. The AUTONEG bit should not be added to link_info->req_flow_ctrl.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
