Subject: [BNX2] A Netdev Watchdog with kernel stable 3.4

Hi Michael,

On a system that was running stable 3.4.87, I got the below stack.
That was a NETDEV WATCHDOG. And we could also see watchdog timeouts with the 
BNX2. (After the stack, an oops occurred while running ifconfig. I think it 
would be related to this timeout.)

Otherwises, the bnx2_dump_state and bnx2_dump_mcp_state have printed the states. 
Through these states info, can we got the real situation of NIC1.
Or can we see what resulted the WATCHDOG, a bnx2 device fault or other reasons.

Thanks.


*The stack*:
