>
> Recovery Mode is intended to recover from a fatal failure scenario in which the device is not accessible to the host, meaning the firmware is non-responsive.
>
> The purpose of the Firmware Recovery Mode is to enable software tools to update firmware and/or device configuration so the fatal error can be resolved.
>
> Recovery Mode Firmware supports a limited set of admin commands required for NVM update.
> Recovery Firmware does not support hardware interrupts so a polling mode is used.
>
> The driver will expose only the minimum set of devlink commands required for the recovery of the adapter.
>
> Using an appropriate NVM image, the user can recover the adapter using the devlink flash API.
>
> Prior to 4.20 E810 Adapter Recovery Firmware supports only the update and erase of the "fw.mgmt" component.
>
> E810 Adapter Recovery Firmware doesn't support selected preservation of cards settings or identifiers.
>
> The following command can be used to recover the adapter:
>
> $ devlink dev flash <pci-address> <update-image.bin> component fw.mgmt
>   overwrite settings overwrite identifier
>
> Newer FW versions (4.20 or newer) supports update of "fw.undi" and "fw.netlist" components.
>
> $ devlink dev flash <pci-address> <update-image.bin>
>
> Tested on Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-C for SFP FW revision 3.20 and 4.30.
