cxl: Fix bug where AFU disable operation had no effect
The AFU disable operation has a bug where it will not clear the enable
bit and therefore will have no effect. To date this has likely been
masked by fact that we perform an AFU reset before the disable, which
also has the effect of clearing the enable bit, making the following
disable operation effectively a noop on most hardware. This patch
modifies the afu_control function to take a parameter to clear from the
AFU control register so that the disable operation can clear the
appropriate bit.
This bug was uncovered on the Mellanox CX4, which uses an XSL rather
than a PSL. On the XSL the reset operation will not complete while the
AFU is enabled, meaning the enable bit was still set at the start of the
disable and as a result this bug was hit and the disable also timed out.
Because of this difference in behaviour between the PSL and XSL, this
patch now makes the reset dependent on the card using a PSL to avoid
waiting for a timeout on the XSL. It is entirely possible that we may be
able to drop the reset altogether if it turns out we only ever needed it
due to this bug - however I am not willing to drop it without further
regression testing and have added comments to the code explaining the
background.
This also fixes a small issue where the AFU_Cntl register was read
outside of the lock that protects it.
