You're looking at the wrong function. This is pnic_do_nway() and you're
looking at pnic_timer().

Of course, Colin's patch assumes the current behavior is correct... I
guess the current behavior can't be that terrible since it predates git
and no one has complained.

drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/pnic.c
19 void pnic_do_nway(struct net_device *dev)
20 {
21 struct tulip_private *tp = netdev_priv(dev);
22 void __iomem *ioaddr = tp->base_addr;
23 u32 phy_reg = ioread32(ioaddr + 0xB8);
24 u32 new_csr6 = tp->csr6 & ~0x40C40200;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

25
26 if (phy_reg & 0x78000000) { /* Ignore baseT4 */
27 if (phy_reg & 0x20000000) dev->if_port = 5;
28 else if (phy_reg & 0x40000000) dev->if_port = 3;
29 else if (phy_reg & 0x10000000) dev->if_port = 4;
30 else if (phy_reg & 0x08000000) dev->if_port = 0;
31 tp->nwayset = 1;
32 new_csr6 = (dev->if_port & 1) ? 0x01860000 : 0x00420000;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

33 iowrite32(0x32 | (dev->if_port & 1), ioaddr + CSR12);
34 if (dev->if_port & 1)
35 iowrite32(0x1F868, ioaddr + 0xB8);
36 if (phy_reg & 0x30000000) {
37 tp->full_duplex = 1;
38 new_csr6 |= 0x00000200;
39 }
40 if (tulip_debug > 1)
41 netdev_dbg(dev, "PNIC autonegotiated status %08x, %s\n",
42 phy_reg, medianame[dev->if_port]);
43 if (tp->csr6 != new_csr6) {
44 tp->csr6 = new_csr6;
45 /* Restart Tx */
46 tulip_restart_rxtx(tp);
47 netif_trans_update(dev);
48 }
49 }
50 }
