Jakub Kicinski 9511f2980d nfp: look for firmware image by device serial number and PCI name
We generally look up firmware by card type, but that doesn't allow
users who have more than one card of the same type in their system
to select firmware per adapter.

Unfortunately user space firmware helper seems fraught with
difficulties and to be on its way out.  In particular support for
handling firmware uevents have been dropped from systemd and most
distributions don't enable the FW fallback by default any more.

To allow users selecting firmware for a particular device look up
firmware names by serial and pci_name().  Use the direct lookup to
disable generating uevents when enabled in Kconfig and not print
any warnings to logs if adapter-specific files are missing.  Users
can place in /lib/firmware/netronome files named:

pci-${pci_name}.nffw
serial-${serial}.nffw

to target a specific card.  E.g.:

pci-0000:04:00.0.nffw
pci-0000:82:00.0.nffw
serial-00-aa-bb-11-22-33-10-ff.nffw

We use the full serial number including the interface id, as it
appears in lspci output (bytes separated by '-').

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
