    i40e: Introduce recovery mode support · 4ff0ee1a
    Alice Michael authored
    This patch introduces "recovery mode" to the i40e driver. It is
    part of a new Any2Any idea of upgrading the firmware. In this
    approach, it is required for the driver to have support for
    "transition firmware", that is used for migrating from structured
    to flat firmware image. In this new, very basic mode, i40e driver
    must be able to handle particular IOCTL calls from the NVM Update
    Tool and run a small set of AQ commands.
    
    These additional AQ commands are part of the interface used by
    the NVMUpdate tool.  The NVMUpdate tool contains all of the
    necessary logic to reference these new AQ commands.  The end user
    experience remains the same, they are using the NVMUpdate tool to
    update the NVM contents.
