Subject: [net-next PATCH 2/4] e1000e: Disable dynamic clock gating for 82571
	per si errata.

From: dave graham <david.graham@...el.com>

82571 and 82572 Errata #13 documents that the Si feature DMA Dynamic
Clock Gating should be disabled, and identifies the workaround of
disabling the feature by EEPROM setting. EEPROM versions that do not
include the recommended workaround have been found in the field, and so
some customers remain at risk. Because the feature DMA Dynamic clock
Gating can be disabled by directly setting the appropriate bit in the
E1000_CTRL_EXT register, this patch overrides the EEPROM setting, and
force-disables the feature.
