This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

...Hmm, and besides fixing sparse printouts, this looks like a real
endianness bug.

Yes it is, my mistake. The patch below will be better.

Aa, one more thing here, there's nowadays print_mac() and
DECLARE_MAC_BUF() for printing MAC-addresses using %s. Since this is
not perf-critical in anyway here, it will save some bytes when used in
kernel-wide scale.

My approval ratings won't surge today.
Is there a specific explanation for the 10 us delay ?
Realtek's 8168 / 8169 / 8101 drivers all use a (wildly copy'pasted ?)
10 ms delay. I would not mind a 10 ms sleep.

'pci_vpd_pci22_wait' uses 100us(10x10us delay) for reading, there is 1ms
(100x10us delay) in my patch, because 100us max. delay was too little for
Realtek. I tried the patch (with 1ms) on 8169,8168b and 8102e HW without
any problem. IMHO Realtek's 10ms delay (usually used for VPD write access)
is too much...

If the maximum delay there is too short, it should be increased. As
I've said before, I picked a timeout that worked for me in the absence
of any time limit in the PCI specification. I thought Stephen Hemminger
had modified it to work for sky2 but it looks like that change was
blocked by quibbling about how best to poll.

Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.

Yes, I did the same for r8169. 100us total was too short so I increase
total possible delay to 1 ms. Some net drivers use infinite loop with
flag testing but I think it isn't good approach and 10ms hard delay is
a little bit long.

Worst case on Marvell chips is 20ms. So the revised code did retry after
1ms. The important thing is with my code it doesn't run under lock with irq disabled,
but uses mutex instead.
