thunder nic: avoid link delays due to RX_PACKET_DIS
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:

Status in linux source package in Yakkety:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Link establishment is delayed during initialization, possibly resulting in
remote fault conditions that may cause the interface to fail to come up.
[Test Case]
Put the system in a reboot loop and watch for a remote fault condition, or a
failure to bring up the link that can only be resolved by reloading the module.
[Regression Risk]
Patch is to a specific driver that is only used on Cavium ThunderX systems.
The patch is upstream, so will have upstream support for regressions.
