[PATCH net] be2net: fix link failure after ethtool offline test

From: Petr Oros
Date: Wed Jun 19 2019 - 07:57:52 EST


Certain cards in conjunction with certain switches need a little more
time for link setup that results in ethtool link test failure after
offline test. Patch adds a loop that waits for a link setup finish.
