Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: EEH recovery fix

Hi Dave,

The EEH mechanism caused a fatal error when using the bnx2x since the driver attempted accessing the device after it was reset by the EEH. This patch sets a proper unload when EEH error is detected without accessing the device.

Since the current implementation causes a fatal error, I ask that you will consider applying this patch.

Thanks,
Eilon
