Title:
  Add tg3 driver support for Broadcom 5725 (NIC)

Status in Open Compute Project:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Raring:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: The current tg3 driver in 12.04 does not support this new NIC.
  To have installer support in the next point release (12.04.3) we need
  to backport some patches which were added after 3.8 into Raring.

  Fix: Backport/cherry-pick of a set of 5 patches. The first one adds
  basic infrastructure but was not enough to enable the NIC. Number two
  would do that. The remaining three patches are very small bug fixes
  which seemed to be related to enabling the new hardware.

  Testcase: Boot Raring kernel on OCP v3 hardware. The current driver
  will not support the network card. With those patches applied it was
  working.

  ---

  The AMD OCP v3 "Roadrunner" uses the broadcom (bcm) 5725 netextreme
  card.  12.04 LTS does not recognize the card (in the PCI ID list or
  the tg3 kernel module).  The PCI ID is 14e4:1643.

  My next plan is to try newer point relese, iterim release, and daily
  build.

  I've not check kernel.org to see if this PCI ID is in the tg3 driver.
