Subject: [net-next 1/6] e1000e: Disable Far-End LoopBack following reset on 80003ES2LAN.

From: Matthew Vick <matthew.vick@...el.com>

80003ES2LAN has an errata such that far-end loopback may be activated by
bit errors producing a reserved symbol. In order to disable far-end
loopback quickly enough, disable it immediately following a reset.
