commit 413c2f33489b134e3cc65d9c3ff7861e8fdfe899 upstream. This patch prevents driver from setting lower default speed of 1 GB/sec, if the switch does not support Get Port Speed Capabilities (GPSC) command. Setting this default speed results into much lower write performance for large sequential WRITE. This patch modifies driver to check for gpsc_supported flags and prevents driver from issuing MBC_SET_PORT_PARAM (001Ah) to set default speed of 1 GB/sec. If driver does not send this mailbox command, firmware assumes maximum supported link speed and will operate at the max speed.

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.
