This series correct the unload flow and greatly enhances its initialization flow in regard to interactions between driver and management firmware.
Patch #1 makes sure unloading is done under management-firmware's 'criticial section' protection. Patches #2 - #4 move driver into using a newer scheme for loading in regard to the MFW; This newer scheme would help cleaning the device in case a previous instance has dirtied it [preboot, PDA, etc.]. Patches #5 - #6 let driver inform management-firmware on number of resources which are dependent on the non-management firmware used. Patch #7 then uses a new resource [BDQ] instead of some set value. Dave, Please consider applying this series to 'net-next'.
