Title:
  thunder nic: avoid link delays due to RX_PACKET_DIS

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Link establishment is delayed during initialization, possibly resulting in remote fault conditions that may cause the interface to fail to come up.

  [Test Case]
  Put the system in a reboot loop and watch for a remote fault condition, or a failure to bring up the link that can only be resolved by reloading the module.

  [Regression Risk]
  Patch is to a specific driver that is only used on Cavium ThunderX systems. The patch is upstream, so will have upstream support for regressions.
