Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] ucc_geth: Fix hangs after switching from full to half duplex

From: Anton Vorontsov <[email-masked]>

MPC8360 QE UCC ethernet controllers hang when changing link duplex
under a load (a bit of NFS activity is enough).

  PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Up - 1000/Full
  sh-3.00# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex half autoneg off
  PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Down
  PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Up - 100/Half
  NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (ucc_geth): transmit queue 0 timed out
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  Badness at c01fcbd0 [verbose debug info unavailable]
  NIP: c01fcbd0 LR: c01fcbd0 CTR: c0194e44
  ...

The cure is to disable the controller before changing speed/duplex
and enable it afterwards.

Though, disabling the controller might take quite a while, so we
better not grab any spinlocks in adjust_link(). Instead, we quiesce
the driver's activity, and only then disable the controller.

Ignore me. I'm working on two kernel versions in parallel (2.6.21 and
mainline), and it's 2.6.21 where phylib uses a timer. Mainline is OK.

How about this patch?
