    RDMA: Simplify get firmware interface · 9abb0d1b
    Leon Romanovsky authored
    There is a need to forward FW version to user space
    application through RDMA netlink. In order to make it safe, there
    is need to declare nla_policy and limit the size of FW string.
    
    The new define IB_FW_VERSION_NAME_MAX will limit the size of
    FW version string. That define was chosen to be equal to
    ETHTOOL_FWVERS_LEN, because many drivers anyway are limited
    by that value indirectly.
    
    The introduction of this define allows us to remove the string size
    from get_fw_str function signature.
