Subject: [PATCH net-next 9/9] bnxt_en: Abort waiting for firmware response if there is no heartbeat.

From: Pavan Chebbi <pavan.chebbi@...adcom.com>

This is especially beneficial during the NVRAM related firmware
commands that have longer timeouts.  If the BNXT_STATE_FW_FATAL_COND
flag gets set while waiting for firmware response, abort and return
error.
