[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] i40e: fix the issue of port initialization failure

[Helin Zhang]

Workaround for the issue of cannot processing adminq commands during
initialization, when 2x40G or 4x10G is receiving packets in highest
throughput. Register 0x002698a8 and 0x002698ac should be cleared at
first, and restored with the default values at the end. No more
details, as they are not exposed registers.
