[PATCH 00/13] Create device FW version call back

[ira.weiny-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Currently there are 3 ways to get the firmware version for an
RDMA device.

1) verbs query device
2) ethtool
3) sysfs entry

Both 1 and 2 are expecting a 64bit field which is vendor specific
and encodes a 3 number version.  Some hardware, like OPA, only
has 2 numbers in it's version, while other hardware like cxgb4
has 4.

Support for the sysfs entry was left to the devices but generally
done in a "common" way.

This series moves to unify firmware version reporting by creating
the ib_get_device_fw_str method within the ib_device.  With this
we can then do 3 things.

1) Support device dependent formats of version strings with
   ethtool (IPoIB)

2) Support a common sysfs entry in the core for backwards
   compatibility which can either be changed to a common
   FW version string with the new verbs interface or simply
   removed in favor of using ethtool.

3) Eventually drop the sysfs entry once we can get user space
   tools off of it.  If we decide not to have an interface
   through verbs (require the use of ethtool via IPoIB) iWarp
   and RoCE devices don't even have to have this support at
   all and the code can be eliminated for those devices.

1 and 2 are done with this patch series.  3 needs to be decided
by the community if, and when, sysfs support can be dropped.

NOTE: I have tested these patches with mlx4, qib, and hfi1.
Other drivers were compile tested only.
