4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Emmanuel Grumbach <[email protected]> commit 2aabdbdc17b7c53490337bfc58de3409c84d85d2 upstream. The NIC's CPU gets started after the firmware has been written to its memory. The first thing it does is to send an interrupt to let the driver know that it is running. In order to get that interrupt, the driver needs to make sure it is not masked. Of course, the interrupt needs to be enabled in the driver before the CPU starts to run. I mistakenly inversed those two steps leading to races which prevented the driver from getting the alive interrupt from the firmware. Fix that.
