ethtool: Add reset operation 2009-10-07T08:10:44+00:00 Ben Hutchings bhutchings@solarflare.com 2009-10-05T10:59:58+00:00 d73d3a8cb4723e161589864741d8528d70b350eb After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive. A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics. This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the use of generic component masks and some future expansion. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file. 2009-09-03T06:07:39+00:00 Ajit Khaparde ajitk@serverengines.com 2009-09-02T17:02:55+00:00 05c6a8d7a7d778f26d8eb821556988993b766092 This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.
