Hi Dave, I am handling maintenance of the nfp diver in Jakub's absence while he is on vacation this week and next, and I am sending this patchset in that capacity.
Regarding the patches, Dirk says: This series adds configuration capabilities to the firmware loading policy of the NFP driver. NFP firmware loading is controlled via three HWinfo keys which can be set per device: 'abi_drv_reset', 'abi_drv_load_ifc' and 'app_fw_from_flash'. Refer to patch #11 for more detail on how these control the firmware loading. In order to configure the full extend of FW loading policy, a new devlink parameter has been introduced, 'reset_dev_on_drv_probe', which controls if the driver should reset the device when it's probed. This, inconjunction with the existing 'fw_load_policy' (extended to include a 'disk' option) provides the means to tweak the NFP HWinfo keys as required by users. Patches 1 and 2 adds the devlink modifications and patches 3 through 9 adds the support into the NFP driver. Furthermore, the last 2 patches are documentation only.
