====================
Netronome NFP4000 and NFP6000 PF driver
This is a base PF driver for Netronome NFP4000 and NFP6000 chips. This
series doesn't add any exciting new features, it provides a foundation
for supporting more advanced firmware applications.
Patch 1 moves a bitfield-related helper from our BPF code to the global
header.
Patch 2 renames the kernel module and adds a new main file. We were
considering 3-module approach (pf, vf, common netdev library) but
ultimately settled on a single module to keep things simple.
Patch 3 adds support for accessing chip internals. It provides a way of
configuring access windows to different parts of chip memory and issuing
pretty much any commands on chip's NoC.
Patches 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 provide support for accessing and interpreting
various hardware and firmware information structures.
Patch 9 introduces service processor (NSP) ABI. This ABI gives us
access to PHY/SFP module configuration and information as well as
methods for unloading and loading application firmware.
Patches 10 and 11 modify the existing netdev code to make it possible
to support multi-port devices (sharing a PCI device).
Patch 12 adds a new driver probe path which will be used for the PF
PCI device IDs. It utilizes the newly added infrastructure and is able
to load application FW and spawn netdevs for all card's ports.
