Nils/Marcelo thanks for inputs, since reg 0x70 bit 15 is clear it
indicates the chip is not setting the config retry bit. We were hoping
this bit is causing the config access to return CRS but looks like it is
not. 

Btw after forcing the error path (tg3_init_one -> tg3_halt) in the
driver now we are able to reproduce the problem on 5722 in house. We are
working with the HW team to narrow this down.

Also it is not clear to me how reverting commit cfa6a7877b17a667 fixes
the problem.
