These microcode messages are normal per-se.

>From the original report [1] follows that there is another 60s. delay
when loading a firmware for an eth device.

[  257.833775] tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
[  269.643973] tg3 0000:03:01.1: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin
[  329.640456] eth1: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg3_tso.bin"
...

 We see 60 seconds for eth1, complaining about a failed firmware load.
/lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin does exist and is from the current
build.

IOW, the issue likely has something to do with firmware loading in general.
