      bnx2x: Using the new FW · ca00392c
      Eilon Greenstein authored
      
      The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in
      the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also
      possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also
      add some to the complicity of this change.
      
      All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show
      improvement.
      Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job
      and deserves credit for that.

      [BNX2X]: Correct Link management · f1410647
      Eliezer Tamir authored
      
      Properly protect PHY access between two devices on the same board with
      a HW lock.
      
      Use GPIO to clear all previous configurations before changing link
      parameters.
      
      Shut down the external PHY in case of fan failure.
      
      Reducing the MDC/MDIO clock to 2.5MHz due to problems with some
      devices.
      
      Resolve the flow control response according to autoneg with external
      PHY.
      
      Unmasking all PHY interrupts in single write to prevent a race in the
      interrupts order.
      
      LASI indication fixes to work with peculiarities of PHYs.
      
      Disable MAC RX to avoid a HW bug when closing the MAC under traffic.
      
      Disable parallel detection on HiGig due to HW limitation.
      
      Updating the shared memory structure to work with the current
      bootcode.
