Subject: [PATCH 13/52] sfc: Speed up loopback self-test

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 12:46:33 +0100

Add efx_poll_loopback() function to test for successful completion of test.
Change efx_test_loopback() to end the test after 1 ms if
efx_poll_loopback() indicates success, and otherwise to wait for 100 ms
as before.

While we're here, rename efx_{rx,tx}_loopback() to
efx_{begin,end}_loopback() which more accurately reflect their
purpose.
