Driver waits after issuing a reset. When a reset takes too long a driver gives up. Implemented by invoking PF reset in a loop. After defined number of unsuccessful PF reset trials it returns error. Without this patch PF reset fails when NIC is in recovery mode. So make i40e_set_mac_type() public. i40e driver requires i40e_set_mac_type() to be public. It is required for recovery mode handling. Without this patch recovery mode could not be detected in i40e_probe().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
