[PATCH 1/2] net/ncsi: add NCSI Intel OEM command to keep PHY up

From: Ivan Mikhaylov
Date: Fri Jul 02 2021 - 07:16:51 EST


This allows to keep PHY link up and prevents any channel resets during
the host load. On BMC it prevents channel reconfiguration:

eth1: NCSI: No channel with link found, configuring channel 0

which brings problem with BMC accessibility.

It is KEEP_PHY_LINK_UP option(Veto bit) in i210 datasheet which
blocks PHY reset and power state changes.
