Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] bnx2x: use FW 7.2.51 and add afex support

Hi Dave,

This patch utilize FW 7.2.51 that was recently added to the linux-firmware tree.

The main feature of this new FW is support of the AFEX multi-function protocol.
Supporting the afex protocol requires many changes in the driver, but all of
them are required together in order to compile and make the feature operational.
Breaking the afex patch into smaller chunks did not seem to increase readability
to me.

Thanks,
Barak
