Subject: [PATCH NEXT 7/7] netxen: sysfs control for auto firmware recovery

From: Narender Kumar <narender.kumar@...gic.com>

Firmware hang detection and recovery (reset) need to
be disabled for diagnostic tools, which can run
some disruptive tests.

This adds a driver level control to turn off this
feature by diag tools.
