[SRU][J:linux-bluefield][PATCH v1 0/1] mlxbf_gige: move BF2 autoneg logic out of open()

[David Thompson]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2100785

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

The mlxbf_gige driver open() method includes a segment of BF2-specific
code that waits for autoneg completion before proceeding. The open()
method should not pend waiting for this link up event.

[Fix]

The fix is to move BF2 autoneg logic out of open(), replacing it with
logic that runs asynchronous to open() via a workqueue function.

[Test Case]

Boot BF2 with mlxbf_gige driver containing fix
Verify autoneg completes, i.e. "RUNNING" status shown in "ifconfig oob_net0"
Verify IP address is assigned to oob_net0

[Regression Potential]
Low - workqueue logic is quite simple
