> This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. > > Shannon provides updates to i40e and i40evf to resolve an issue with the > nvmupdate utility. First renames a variable name to reduce confusion and > to differentiate it from the actual user variable. Then added the ability > to save the admin queue write back descriptor if a caller supplies a > buffer for it to be saved into. Added a new GetStatus command so that > the NVM update tool can query the current status instead of doing fake > write requests to probe for readiness. Added wait states to the NVM > update state machine to signify when waiting for an update operation to > finish, whether we are in the middle of a set of write operations, or we > are now idle but waiting. Then added a facility to run admin queue > commands through the NVM update utility in order to allow the update > tools to interact with the firmware and do special commands needed for > updates and configuration changes. Also added a facility to recover the > result of a previously run admin queue command.
