Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/7] qed: load/unload mfw series

This series correct the unload flow and greatly enhances its
initialization flow in regard to interactions between driver
and management firmware.

Patch #1 makes sure unloading is done under management-firmware's
'criticial section' protection.

Patches #2 - #4 move driver into using a newer scheme for loading
in regard to the MFW; This newer scheme would help cleaning the device
in case a previous instance has dirtied it [preboot, PDA, etc.].

Patches #5 - #6 let driver inform management-firmware on number of
resources which are dependent on the non-management firmware used.
Patch #7 then uses a new resource [BDQ] instead of some set value.

Dave,

Please consider applying this series to 'net-next'.

Thanks,
Yuval

Tomer Tayar (4):
  qed: Correct HW stop flow
  qed: Move to new load request scheme
  qed: Support management-based resource locking
  qed: Utilize resource-lock based scheme

  qed: hw_init() to receive parameter-struct
  qed: Send pf-flr as part of initialization
  qed: Use BDQ resource for storage protocols
