Subject: [net-next-2.6 06/11] e1000e: extend timeout for ethtool link test diagnostic

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

With some PHYs supported by this driver, link establishment can take a
little longer when connected to certain switches.  Extend the timeout to
reduce the number of false diagnostic failures, and cleanup a code style
issue in the same function.
