4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Lendacky, Thomas" <Thomas.Lendacky@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 738f7f647371ff4cfc9646c99dba5b58ad142db3 ] The xgbe_init() routine returns a return code indicating success or failure, but the return code is not checked. Add code to xgbe_init() to issue a message when failures are seen and add code to check the xgbe_init() return code. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
