Merge branch 'nfp-add-NFP5000-support'
Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== nfp: add NFP5000 support This series broadly speaking adds support for NFP5000 and related products. First we add support for loading FW from flash. We need to allow for the management processor to provide extended log messages when FW is loaded. This is needed when FW selection policy is to compare the FW on the disk and in the flash, and load the newer. User should be told what FW was selected. We use this opportunity to add extended errors for normal FW loading as well. Next we add support for requesting HW information from the management processor. Up until now the driver read the HWinfo as it appears in card memory, but there can be cases when management processor has additional information or generates the entries dynamically so occasionally we will have to consult it. We use this to look up MAC addresses for PCIe netdevs. Next the actual patch with NFP5000 support and a small dose of refactoring of PCIe init. The remaining patches add support for reading RTsymbol types we didn't need before. Ones explicitly placed in external memory unit's cache and absolute ones. This part begins with a patch moving the logic which figures out the correct bit offsets to device probe, to avoid redoing the calculation for each access. Second patch adds error messages for easier troubleshooting. Next patch adds helpers which will take care of address conversions to reach into EMU cache. Subsequently users are migrated from the raw CPP API to the new RTsym helpers. Finally we add support for reading absolute symbols. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
