Subject: [PATCHv3 net-next 00/14] nfp: MTU fixes for net

Hi Dave!

This is the second part of MTU reconfiguration fixes, targeted
at net-next.

Patches 1-8 refactor open/stop paths to look like this:
 - alloc;
 - dev/FW init;
 - stack init/start.
stop:
 - stack quiescence/stop;
 - dev/FW down;
 - free.
That's a quite a bit of code churn I did my best to split
it up but probably still not much fun to review.

Patch 9 splits the open/stop into chunks I can call later.

Patch 10 makes sure that FW start/stop operations are
reflected in SW state (which was not needed earlier since
we always did full down/up).

[Patches 11 and 13 are trivial, split for readability.]

Patch 12 does what you requested for MTU change:
 - alloc new resources;
 - stop dev;
 - try to start dev with new config;
 - if failed try with old config;
 - if failed die loudly.

Patch 14 does the same thing for ring resize.

I tested this with various error injection hacks and it 
seems quite solid.

This is on top of the first series, merge of net into
net-next will be required for this to apply.

Thanks!
