According to the commit, it implements a manual AN-37 for some "troublesome" Juniper MX5 switches. This appears to be a workaround for a particular switch. It has been reported that this causes a severe breakage for other switches, including a Cisco 3560CX-12PD-S. The code appears to be a workaround for a specific switch which fails to link in SFI mode. It expects to see AN-37 auto negotiation in order to link. The Cisco switch is not expecting AN-37 auto negotiation. When the device starts the manual AN-37, the Cisco switch decides that the port is confused and stops attempting to link with it. This persists until a power cycle. A simple driver unload and reload does not resolve the issue, even if loading with a version of the driver which lacks this workaround. The authors of the workaround commit have not responded with clarifications, and the result of the workaround is complete failure to connect with other switches. This appears to be a case where the driver can either "correctly" link with the Juniper MX5 switch, at the cost of bricking the link with the Cisco switch, or it can behave properly for the Cisco switch, but fail to link with the Junipir MX5 switch. I do not know enough about the standards involved to clearly determine whether either switch is at fault or behaving incorrectly. Nor do I know whether there exists some alternative fix which corrects behavior with both switches. Revert the workaround for the Juniper switch.
