Subject: bnx2x in 4.6rc7 with FW 7.13.1.0 not present

Upgrading a system from kernel 4.2 to 4.6rc7, there is an extra 2 minute
delay while booting due to these problems:

    [   47.977221] bnx2x 0000:04:00.1: Direct firmware load for bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw failed with error -2
    [   48.029997] bnx2x 0000:04:00.1: Falling back to user helper
    [**    ] A start job is running for Network Manager Wait Online (1min 27s / no limit)
    [  108.064132] bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:13472(eno50)]Can't load firmware file bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw
    [  108.119951] bnx2x: [bnx2x_func_hw_init:5785(eno50)]Error loading firmware
    [  108.156522] bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:2727(eno50)]HW init failed, aborting
    [*     ] A start job is running for Network Manager Wait Online (1min 28s / no limit)

These are the versions in /lib/firmware/bnx2x (a RHEL installation):
bnx2x-e2-6.2.9.0.fw    bnx2x-e1-7.8.19.0.fw    bnx2x-e1h-7.8.2.0.fw

bnx2x-e1-7.12.30.0.fw  bnx2x-e1h-7.2.16.0.fw   bnx2x-e2-7.2.51.0.fw
bnx2x-e1-7.2.16.0.fw   bnx2x-e1h-7.2.51.0.fw   bnx2x-e2-7.8.17.0.fw
bnx2x-e1-7.2.51.0.fw   bnx2x-e1h-7.8.17.0.fw   bnx2x-e2-7.8.19.0.fw
bnx2x-e1-7.8.17.0.fw   bnx2x-e1h-7.8.19.0.fw   bnx2x-e2-7.8.2.0.fw

Reverting 5e091e7a "bnx2x: Utilize FW 7.13.1.0" avoids the problem.
I assume getting 7.13.1.0 from the linux-firmware project will also do so.

Could the driver fall back to an older firmware version more gracefully?
