When booting with a dock connected, the igc driver may get stuck for ~40
seconds if PCIe link is lost during initialization.
This happens because the driver access device after EECD register reads
return all F's, indicating failed reads. Consequently, hw->hw_addr is set
to NULL, which impacts subsequent rd32() reads. This leads to the driver
hanging in igc_get_hw_semaphore_i225(), as the invalid hw->hw_addr
prevents retrieving the expected value.
To address this, a validation check and a corresponding return value
catch is added for the EECD register read result. If all F's are
returned, indicating PCIe link loss, the driver will return -ENXIO
immediately. This avoids the 40-second hang and significantly improves
boot time when using a dock with an igc NIC.
