This patch series is introducing multiple PFs for multiple ports NIC
assembled with NFP3800 chip. This is done since the NFP3800 can
support up to 4 PFs, and is more in-line with the modern expectation
that each port/netdev is associated with a unique PF.

For compatibility concern with NFP4000/6000 cards, and older management
firmware on NFP3800, multiple ports sharing single PF is still supported
with this change. Whether it's multi-PF setup or single-PF setup is
determined by management firmware, and driver will notify the
application firmware of the setup so that both are well handled.

* Patch 1/12 and 2/12 are to support new management firmware with bumped
  major version.
* Patch 3/12, 4/12, 5/12 adjust the application firmware loading and
  unloading mechanism since multi PFs share the same application
  firmware.
* Patch 6/12 is a small fix to avoid reclaiming resources by mistake in
  multi-PF setup.
* Patch 7/12 re-formats the symbols to communicate with application
  firmware to adapt multi-PF setup.
* Patch 8/12 applies one port/netdev per PF.
* Patch 9/12 is to support both single-PF and multi-PF setup by a
  configuration in application firmware.
* Patch 10/12, 11/12, 12/12 are some necessary adaption to use SR-IOV
  for multi-PF setup.

Tianyu Yuan (4):
  nsp: generate nsp command with variable nsp major version
  nfp: bump the nsp major version to support multi-PF
  nfp: apply one port per PF for multi-PF setup
  nfp: configure VF total count for each PF

Yinjun Zhang (8):
  nfp: change application firmware loading flow in multi-PF setup
  nfp: don't skip firmware loading when it's pxe firmware in running
  nfp: introduce keepalive mechanism for multi-PF setup
  nfp: avoid reclaiming resource mutex by mistake
  nfp: redefine PF id used to format symbols
  nfp: enable multi-PF in application firmware if supported
  nfp: configure VF split info into application firmware
  nfp: use absolute vf id for multi-PF case
