<title>bnx2x: Separated FW from the source.</title>

&gt;From now on FW will be downloaded from the binary file using request_firmware.

There will be different files for every supported chip. Currently 57710 (e1) and
57711 (e1h).

File names have the following format: bnx2x-&lt;chip version&gt;-&lt;FW version&gt;.fw.
ihex versions of current FW files are submitted in the next patch.

Each binary file has a header in the following format:


struct bnx2x_fw_file_section {
	__be32 len;
	__be32 offset;
}

struct bnx2x_fw_file_hdr {
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops_offsets;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_int_table_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_pram_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_int_table_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_pram_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_int_table_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_pram_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_int_table_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_pram_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section fw_version;
}

Each bnx2x_fw_file_section contains the length and the offset of the appropriate
section in the binary file. Values are stored in the big endian format.

Data types of arrays:

init_data            __be32
init_ops_offsets     __be16
XXsem_pram_data         u8
XXsem_int_table_data    u8
init_ops             struct raw_op {
                          u8   op;
			__be24 offset;
                        __be32 data;
		     }
fw_version              u8

&gt;From now boundaries of a specific initialization stage are stored in
init_ops_offsets array instead of being defined by separate macroes. The index 
in init_ops_offsets is calculated by BLOCK_OPS_IDX macro:

#define BLOCK_OPS_IDX(block, stage, end) \
       (2*(((block)*STAGE_IDX_MAX) + (stage)) + (end))

Security:

In addition to sanity check of array boundaries bnx2x will check a FW version.
Additional checks might be added in the future.

These are available elsewhere (for example in the linux-firmware.git
repository); they have no business being added to the kernel source
tree.

We are only putting stuff in the firmware/ directory of the kernel
source when it's extracted from long-standing drivers which used to
include it directly.

We didn't intend to open the floodgates to including megabytes of new
firmware which was previously being distributed separately.
