+Subject: [PATCH 20/73] 3c59x: shorten timer period for slave devices
+
+[ Upstream commit 3013dc0cceb9baaf25d5624034eeaa259bf99004 ]
+
+Jean Delvare reported bonding on top of 3c59x adapters was not detecting
+network cable removal fast enough.
+
+3c59x indeed uses a 60 seconds timer to check link status if carrier is
+on, and 5 seconds if carrier is off.
+
+This patch reduces timer period to 5 seconds if device is a bonding
+slave.
