    ice: fix writeback enable logic · 1d9f7ca3
    Jesse Brandeburg authored
    The writeback enable logic was incorrectly implemented (due to
    misunderstanding what the side effects of the implementation would be
    during polling).
    
    Fix this logic issue, while implementing a new feature allowing the user
    to control the writeback frequency using the knobs for controlling
    interrupt throttling that we already have.  Basically if you leave
    adaptive interrupts enabled, the writeback frequency will be varied even
    if busy_polling or if napi-poll is in use.  If the interrupt rates are
    set to a fixed value by ethtool -C and adaptive is off, the driver will
    allow the user-set interrupt rate to guide how frequently the hardware
    will complete descriptors to the driver.
    
    Effectively the user will get a control over the hardware efficiency,
    allowing the choice between immediate interrupts or delayed up to a
    maximum of the interrupt rate, even when interrupts are disabled
    during polling.
