Subject: [PATCH] tg3: Invert restart quirk logic to restrict SNP power-down
bypass
Commit 9fc3bc764334 ("tg3: power down device only on SYSTEM_POWER_OFF")
bypassed `tg3_power_down()` on system restarts to prevent reboot hangs and
NMIs on servers where NICs were initialized via SNP (such as Dell PowerEdge
R650 and R750).
However, skipping the power-down flow globally causes the ACPI _PTS method
to trigger fatal PCIe AER events and hangs on other models. Commit
e0efe83ed325 ("tg3: Disable tg3 PCIe AER on system reboot") attempted to
mitigate this by adding an AER-disable DMI quirk table. Maintaining a
growing list of models for a secondary symptom misses the root cause,
leaving systems like the PowerEdge T440 (sharing the BCM5720 NIC) exposed.
Fix this by inverting the quirk logic:
1. Restrict SNP power-down avoidance strictly to
`tg3_restart_snp_quirk_table` for the specific systems requiring it
(Dell PowerEdge R650 and R750).
2. Restore standard power-down behavior for all other systems, eliminating
the separate AER-disable quirk table.
For systems affected by the original SNP restart issue, their shutdown flow
remains completely untouched.
