This patch series introduce support for the new 578x0 chip series and therefore includes new 7.0.20 FW: 1) New LINK code. 2) Absolutely new HSI that allows supporting different chips in more consolidated way, which caused a significant changes in the driver code including moving the HSI handling code into a spearate files (patches 11 and 12). We also send the new FW files to David Woodhouse. It's the first time we submit to the linux-firmware git so I hope we don't mess the things up: we DO NOT patch firmware/WHENCE and firmware/Makefile files in our net-next patches and we patch the WHENCE file in the linux-firmware patch. Dave, pls., confirm if it's a correct procedure. If it is, pls., note that the bnx2x driver will compile but won't work until u integrate the new FW into the kernel tree. You may alsofind these patches at our public site. net-next series at http://linux.broadcom.com/eilong/1.70.00-0/ New FW at http://linux.broadcom.com/eilong/FW-7.0.20.0/ Thanks, vlad
