bnx2: Use request_firmware()

2009-04-04T23:51:14+00:00

Based on original patch by Ben Hutchings and Bastian Blank , with the following main changes: Separated the mips firmware and rv2p firmware into different files to make it easier to update them separately. Added some code to fixup the rv2p code with run-time information such as PAGE_SIZE. Update version to 2.0.0. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bnx2: Update 5709 firmware.

2009-02-13T00:53:48+00:00

New firmware fixes a data corruption issue when receiving and placing jumbo frames into host buffers. In some cases, the buffer descriptor is not updated correctly and this will lead to the driver linking the wrong number of pages into the SKB. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S.

bnx2: Update TPAT firmware

2008-07-19T00:54:17+00:00

This change allows the first TX ring (CID 16) and the first TSS TX ring (CID 32) to be used concurrently. Before this change, we could get TSO errors when both TX rings were used concurrently. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Li Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bnx2: Update firmware to support multi rx rings.

bnx2: Update RV2P firmware for 5709.

2008-05-02T23:57:59+00:00

The new RV2P firmware fixes 2 issues: 1. The jumbo rx buffer page size is now configurable and set to the proper PAGE_SIZE. Before, it was assumed to be always 4K. 2. Driver sometimes would crash when receiving jumbo packets mixed with firmware management packets. This was caused by the old firmware DMA'ing to the wrong address.

[BNX2]: Update firmware.

[BNX2]: Update 5709 firmware to 3.7.1.

2007-10-18T02:25:27+00:00

This firmware update fixes a problem running with IPMI management firmware. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BNX2]: Optimize firmware loading.

2007-10-10T23:54:07+00:00

This is a follow up to the patches from Denys Vlasenkos to further optimize firmware loading. 1. In bnx2_init_cpus(), we allocate memory for decompression once and use it repeatedly instead of doing this for every firmware image. 2. We eliminate the BSS and SBSS firmware sections in bnx2_fw*.h since these are always zeros. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[BNX2]: factor out gzip unpacker

2007-10-10T23:53:57+00:00

This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch. It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares or any other relatively big binary blobs - fonts, cursor bitmaps, whatever. Patch is run tested by Michael Chan (driver author).
