2014-07-25ixgbe: Make return values more directMark Rustad
Make return values more direct, eliminating some gotos and otherwise unneeded conditionals. This also eliminates some local variables. Also a few minor cleanups in affected code so checkpatch won't complain.

2014-03-20ixgbe: fix ixgbe_setup_mac_link_82599 autoc variablesJacob Keller
This patch fixes flow control autonegotiation for KR/KX/K4 interfaces. When setting up MAC link, the cached autoc value and current autoc value were being incorrectly used to determine whether link reset is required. This resulted in the driver ignoring and discarding flow control negotiation changes that occur since the caching happened, as well as when the mac was being setup. This patch also splits the assignments for the 3 autoc variables into their own block, and adds a comment explaining what each one means, in order to help keep logic more straightforward while reading the code.
