[ Upstream commit 6750c87074c5b534d82fdaabb1deb45b8f1f57de ] qlge_fix_features() is not supposed to modify hardware or driver state, rather it is supposed to only fix requested fetures bits. Currently qlge_fix_features() also goes for interface down and up unnecessarily if there is not even any change in features set. This patch changes/fixes following - 1) Move reload of interface or device re-config from qlge_fix_features() to qlge_set_features(). 2) Reload of interface in qlge_set_features() only if relevant feature bit (NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_RX) is changed. 3) Get rid of qlge_fix_features() since driver is not really required to fix any features bit.

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.
