From: Yuval Mintz <Yuval.Mintz@...gic.com> Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 12:52:06 +0200 > Our FW can support several fastpath HSI [for backward compatibility] but up > until now VFs were always configured to use latest fastpath HSI [although VF > driver might be older and use an older fastpath HSI]. > > For linux drivers, the differences are insignificant since driver never > utilized features that were overridden by the HSI change.
