Subject: [PATCH net-next] nfp: compose firmware file name with new hwinfo "nffw.partno"

From: Yu Xiao <yu.xiao@...igine.com>

During initialization of the NFP driver, a file name for loading
application firmware is composed using the NIC's AMDA information and port
type (count and speed). E.g.: "nic_AMDA0145-1012_2x10.nffw".

In practice there may be many variants for each NIC type, and many of the
variants relate to assembly components which do not concern the driver and
application firmware implementation. Yet the current scheme leads to a
different application firmware file name for each variant, because they
have different AMDA information.

To reduce proliferation of content-duplicated application firmware images
or symlinks, the NIC's management firmware will only expose differences
between variants that need different application firmware via a newly
introduced hwinfo, "nffw.partno".

Use of the existing hwinfo, "assembly.partno", is maintained in order to
support for NICs with management firmware that does not expose
"nffw.partno".
