2017-04-07qed: Don't use main-ptt in unrelated flowsRahul Verma8-61/+124
In order to access HW registers driver needs to acquire a PTT entry [mapping between bar memory and internal chip address]. Since acquiring PTT entries could fail [at least in theory] as their number is finite and other flows can hold them, we reserve special PTT entries for 'important' enough flows - ones we want to guarantee that would not be susceptible to such issues. One such special entry is the 'main' PTT which is meant to be used in flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization. However, there are other flows that are also using that same entry for their own purpose, and might run concurrently with the original flows [notice that for most cases using the main-ptt by mistake, such a race is still impossible, at least today]. This patch re-organizes the various functions that currently use the main_ptt in one of two ways: - If a function shouldn't use the main_ptt it starts acquiring and releasing it's own PTT entry and use it instead. Notice if those functions previously couldn't fail, they now can [as acquisition might fail]. - Change the prototypes so that the main_ptt would be received as a parameter [instead of explicitly accessing it]. This prevents the future risk of adding codes that introduces new use-cases for flows using the main_ptt, ones that might be in race with the actual 'main' flows.

2017-03-29qed: Send pf-flr as part of initializationMintz, Yuval4-0/+28
During HW initialization, driver would set various registers to their needed values - but it assumes all registers start at their reset-value, so there's no need to re-configure a register's default value. This assumption might be incorrect, e.g., in case of preboot driver running and initializing the driver prior to our driver. To overcome this, we now ask management firmware to initiate a PF-flr early during the initialization sequence. That would return everything in the PF's scope back to default and prevent previous configurations from still being applied.

2017-03-29qed: Move to new load request schemeTomer Tayar8-58/+497
Management firmware is used as an arbiter between the various PFs in regard to loading - it causes the various PFs to load/unload sequentially and informs each of its appropriate rule in the init. But the existing flow is too weak to handle some scenarios where PFs aren't properly cleaned prior to loading. The significant scenarios falling under this criteria: a. Preboot drivers in some environment can't properly unload. b. Unexpected driver replacement [kdump, PDA]. Modern management firmware supports a more intricate loading flow, where the driver has the ability to overcome previous limitations. This moves qed into using this newer scheme. Notice new scheme is backward compatible, so new drivers would still be able to load properly on top of older management firmwares and vice versa.

2017-03-29qed: Correct HW stop flowTomer Tayar6-135/+142

Existing HW stop flow utilizes 2 different functions: qed_hw_stop() and qed_hw_reset() which don't abide this requirement; Most of the closure is doing outside the scope of the unload request.

The management firmware is running on a Big Endian processor, and when running on LE platform HW is configured to swap access to memory shared between management firmware and driver on 32-bit granulariy. As a result, for matters of simplicity most of the APIs between driver and management firmware are based on 32-bit variables. MAC settings are one exception, as driver needs to fill a byte array when indicating to management firmware that primary MAC has changed. Due to the swap, driver must make sure that the mac that was provided in byte-order would be translated into native order, otherwise after the swap the management firmware would read it swapped.
