Subject: [PATCH 3.16 75/87] be2net: fix link failure after ethtool offline
 test

3.16.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Petr Oros <poros@...hat.com>

commit 2e5db6eb3c23e5dc8171eb8f6af7a97ef9fcf3a9 upstream.

Certain cards in conjunction with certain switches need a little more
time for link setup that results in ethtool link test failure after
offline test. Patch adds a loop that waits for a link setup finish.

Changes in v2:
- added fixes header

Fixes: 4276e47e2d1c ("be2net: Add link test to list of ethtool self tests.")
