[PATCH net] net: e1000e: Recover at least in-memory copy of NVM checksum

From: Thomas Bogendoerfer
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 10:08:17 EST


Commit 4051f68318ca ("e1000e: Do not take care about recovery NVM
checksum") causes a regression for systems with a broken NVM checksum
and hardware which is not able to update the NVM. Before the change the
in-memory copy was correct even the NVM update doesn't work, which is
good enough for the driver to work again.

See

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191663

for more details.

This patch reverts the change and moves the check for hardware without
NVM update capability right before the real flash update.
