      bnxt_en: discard out of sequence HWRM responses · 02b9aa10
      Edwin Peer authored 
      During firmware crash recovery, it is possible for firmware to respond
to stale HWRM commands that have already timed out. Because response
buffers may be reused, any out of sequence responses need to be ignored
and only the matching seq_id should be accepted.

Also, READ_ONCE should be used for the reads from the DMA buffer to
ensure that the necessary loads are scheduled.

      bnxt_en: introduce new firmware message API based on DMA pools · f9ff5782
      Edwin Peer authored 
      This change constitutes a major step towards supporting multiple
firmware commands in flight by maintaining a separate response buffer
for the duration of each request. These firmware commands are also
known as Hardware Resource Manager (HWRM) commands.  Using separate
response buffers requires an API change in order for callers to be
able to free the buffer when done.

It is impossible to keep the existing APIs unchanged.  The existing
usage for a simple HWRM message request such as the following:

        struct input req = {0};
        bnxt_hwrm_cmd_hdr_init(bp, &req, REQ_TYPE, -1, -1);
        rc = hwrm_send_message(bp, &req, sizeof(req), HWRM_CMD_TIMEOUT);
        if (rc)
                /* error */

changes to:

         struct input *req;
         rc = hwrm_req_init(bp, req, REQ_TYPE);
         if (rc)
                 /* error */
         rc = hwrm_req_send(bp, req); /* consumes req */
         if (rc)
                 /* error */

The key changes are:

1. The req is no longer allocated on the stack.
2. The caller must call hwrm_req_init() to allocate a req buffer and
   check for a valid buffer.
3. The req buffer is automatically released when hwrm_req_send() returns.
4. If the caller wants to check the firmware response, the caller must
   call hwrm_req_hold() to take ownership of the response buffer and
   release it afterwards using hwrm_req_drop().  The caller is no longer
   required to explicitly hold the hwrm_cmd_lock mutex to read the
   response.
5. Because the firmware commands and responses all have different sizes,
   some safeguards are added to the code.

This patch maintains legacy API compatibiltiy, implementing the old
API in terms of the new.  The follow-on patches will convert all
callers to use the new APIs.

v2: Fix redefined writeq with parisc .config
    Fix "cast from pointer to integer of different size" warning in
hwrm_calc_sentinel()

bnxt_hwrm.[ch].  The follow-on patches will make major modifications
to these APIs.

      bnxt_en: Refactor the HWRM_VER_GET firmware calls · 7b370ad7
      Edwin Peer authored 
      Refactor the code so that __bnxt_hwrm_ver_get() does not call
bnxt_hwrm_do_send_msg() directly.  The new APIs will not expose this
internal call.  Add a new bnxt_hwrm_poll() to poll the HWRM_VER_GET
firmware call silently.  The other bnxt_hwrm_ver_get() function will
send the HWRM_VER_GET message directly with error logs enabled.

      bnxt_en: remove DMA mapping for KONG response · 6c172d59
      Edwin Peer authored 
      The additional response buffer serves no useful purpose. There can
be only one firmware command in flight due to the hwrm_cmd_lock mutex,
which is taken for the entire duration of any command completion,
KONG or otherwise. It is thus safe to share a single DMA buffer.

Removing the code associated with the additional mapping will simplify
matters in the next patch, which allocates response buffers from DMA
pools on a per request basis.
