Subject: Re: [ 026/171 ] sfc: Only use TX push if a single descriptor is to
 be written

Aside from #21-26 in this series, and the deadlock fix required on top
of #24, there are several more fixes for sfc that I think are suitable
for 3.6.11.y.

These commits were cherry-picked for 3.4.38 and can also be
cherry-picked cleanly on top of 3.6.11.1 plus the 7 patches you already
have:

d5e8cc6c946e sfc: Really disable flow control while flushing
bfeed902946a sfc: Convert firmware subtypes to native byte order in efx_mcdi_get_board_cfg()
9724a8504c87 sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments
0a6e5008a9df sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup
450783747f42 sfc: Avoid generating over-length MC_CMD_FLUSH_RX_QUEUES request
525d9e824018 sfc: Work-around flush timeout when flushes have completed
ef492f11efed sfc: Correctly initialise reset_method in siena_test_chip()
ebf98e797b4e sfc: Fix timekeeping in efx_mcdi_poll()

Please let me know whether you're prepared to include these in the
current update.  I can then run some automated tests with your selected
set of patches applied.

Ben.
