Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/24] bnx2x: New FW and support for 578xx

Dave, pls., consider applying this patch series.

This patch series introduce support for the new 578x0 chip series and
therefore includes new 7.0.20 FW:
	1) New LINK code.
	2) Absolutely new HSI that allows supporting different chips in more
consolidated way, which caused a significant changes in the driver code
including moving the HSI handling code into a spearate files (patches 11
and 12).

We also send the new FW files to David Woodhouse. It's the first time we
submit to the linux-firmware git so I hope we don't mess the things up: we
DO NOT patch firmware/WHENCE and firmware/Makefile files in our net-next
patches and we patch the WHENCE file in the linux-firmware patch. Dave,
pls., confirm if it's a correct procedure.

If it is, pls., note that the bnx2x driver will compile but won't work
until u integrate the new FW into the kernel tree.

You may alsofind these patches at our public site.
