[PATCH net-next 0/2] cxgb4: reduce memory footprint for collecting firmware dump

Firmware dump can be large (upto 2 GB). In low memory conditions, ethtool fails to allocate such large memory. So, use zlib deflate to compress collected firmware dump. Patch 1 updates collection logic to use compression. Patch 2 adds zlib deflate to compress collected firmware dump. Thanks, R
