r8169: skip DASH fw status checks when DASH is disabled
On devices that support DASH, the current code in the "rtl_loop_wait" function raises false alarms when DASH is disabled. This occurs because the function attempts to wait for the DASH firmware to be ready, even though it's not relevant in this case. r8169 0000:0c:00.0 eth0: RTL8168ep/8111ep, 38:7c:76:49:08:d9, XID 502, IRQ 86 r8169 0000:0c:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9194 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] r8169 0000:0c:00.0 eth0: DASH disabled ... r8169 0000:0c:00.0 eth0: rtl_ep_ocp_read_cond == 0 (loop: 30, delay: 10000). This patch modifies the driver start/stop functions to skip checking the DASH firmware status when DASH is explicitly disabled. This prevents unnecessary delays and false alarms. The patch has been tested on several ThinkStation P8/PX workstations.
