[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net v2] ice: fix SMA and U.FL pin state changes affecting paired pin

>SMA and U.FL pins share physical signal paths in pairs (SMA1/U.FL1 and
>SMA2/U.FL2) controlled by the PCA9575 GPIO expander.  Each pair can
>only have one active pin at a time: SMA1 output and U.FL1 output share
>the same CGU output, SMA2 input and U.FL2 input share the same CGU
>input.  The PCA9575 register bits determine which connector in each
>pair owns the signal path.
>
>The driver does not account for this pairing in two places:
>
>ice_dpll_ufl_pin_state_set() modifies PCA9575 bits and disables the
>backing CGU pin without checking whether the U.FL pin is currently
>active.  Disconnecting an already inactive U.FL pin flips bits that
>the paired SMA pin relies on, breaking its connection.
>
>ice_dpll_sma_direction_set() does not propagate direction changes to
>the paired U.FL pin.  For SMA2/U.FL2 the ICE_SMA2_UFL2_RX_DIS bit is
>never managed, so U.FL2 stays disconnected after SMA2 switches to
>output.  For both pairs the backing CGU pin of the U.FL side is never
>enabled when a direction change activates it, so userspace sees the
>pin as disconnected even though the routing is correct.
>
>Fix by guarding the U.FL disconnect path against inactive pins and by
>updating the paired U.FL pin fully on SMA direction changes: manage
>ICE_SMA2_UFL2_RX_DIS for the SMA2/U.FL2 pair and enable the backing
>CGU pin whenever the peer becomes active.
>
>Fixes: 2dd5d03c77e2 ("ice: redesign dpll sma/u.fl pins control")
