Subject: [PATCH] igb: correct hardware type (i210/i211) check in igb_loopback_test()

In the original code
...
 	if ((adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_i210)
		|| (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_i210)) { ...
the second check of 'adapter->hw.mac.type' is pointless since it tests for the exact same value as the first.

After reading through a few other parts of the driver I believe that the second check was actually intended to check for 'e1000_i211'
rather than 'e1000_i210', but I admit that I'm not certain so someone with more knowledge about this driver should ACK the patch before it gets merged.

Unfortunately I have no hardware to actually test this on, so it is compile tested only.
