e1000e: Reconfigure PLL clock gate timeout and re-enable K1 on Meteor Lake

Browse source

Commit 3c7bf5af21 ("e1000e: Introduce private flag to disable K1")
disabled K1 by default on Meteor Lake and newer systems due to packet
loss observed on various platforms. However, disabling K1 caused an
increase in power consumption.

To mitigate this, reconfigure the PLL clock gate value so that K1 can
remain enabled without incurring the additional power consumption.
Re-enable K1 by default, but keep the private flag to support disabling
it via ethtool. Additionally, introduce a DMI quirk table, so that K1 may
be disabled by default on known problematic systems. Currently, this
includes the Dell Pro 16 Plus, where the issue has been reported to persist
despite the changes to the PLL lock timeout.
