Subject[patch 07/22] bnx2x: Calling netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com>

commit 12b56ea89e70d4b04f2f5199750310e82894ebbd upstream.

netif_carrier_off was called too early at the probe. In case of failure
or simply bad timing, this can cause a fatal error since linkwatch_event
might run too soon.
