Eilon Greenstein ca00392cb8 bnx2x: Using the new FW
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.

Eilon Greenstein 1c06328c03 bnx2x: Flow control enhancement
Setting better HW thresholds and enabling FW capabilities for better
enforcement. Also set the HW to more efficiently use the internal buffers if
this is a single port design

Eilon Greenstein 8d9c5f34a2 bnx2x: New FW
This is the FW blob and the relevant definitions without any logic. It
also contains the minimal mandatory code changes to work with this FW
but it does not contain enabling of the new features that this FW
provides.

This FW is needed for:
- More efficient multi-queue
- per queue statistics
- Big-endian issue with MSI
- Improved pause response

Yitchak Gertner 66e855f3f5 bnx2x: Statistics
Statistics
- Making sure that each drop is accounted for in the driver statistics
- Clearing the FW statistics when driver is loaded to prevent
  inconsistency with HW statistics
- Once error is detected (bnx2x_panic_dump), stop the statistics
  before other actions (currently it is stopped last and can corrupt
  the data) - Adding HW checksum error counter to the statistics
- Removing unused variable stats_ticks
- Using macros instead of magic numbers to indicate which statistics are
  shared per port and which are per function

Eilon Greenstein 34f80b04f3 bnx2x: Add support for BCM57711 HW
Supporting the 57711 and 57711E - refers to in the code as E1H. The
57710 is referred to as E1.

To support the new members in the family, the bnx2x structure was
divided to 3 parts: common, port and function. These changes caused some
rearrangement in the bnx2x.h file.

A set of accessories macros were added to make access to the bnx2x
structure more readable

Eliezer Tamir f14106478e [BNX2X]: Correct Link management
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.
