When bootup the server with BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet get below warning:

tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: DMA Status error.  Resetting chip.
<Registers state of device>
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: 0: Host status block [00000007:00000002:(0000:0000:0000):(0000:0000)]
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: 0: NAPI info [00000001:00000002:(0000:0000:01ff):0000:(00c8:0000:0000:0000)]
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX
tg3 0000:03:01.0: tg3_stop_block timed out, ofs=4800 enable_bit=2
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: Link is down
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex
tg3 0000:03:01.0: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX

If device not ready, then would not dump registers info.
