3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tushar Dave <tushar.n.d...@intel.com>
commit b7ec70be01a87f2c85df3ae11046e74f9b67e323 upstream.
Found that commit d478eb44 was a bad commit.
If the link partner is transmitting codeword (even if NULL codeword),
then the RXCW.C bit will be set so check for RXCW.CW is unnecessary.
