When device is configured for Multi-function mode, some older management
firmware might incorrectly notify interfaces of link changes while they
haven't requested the physical link configuration to be set.
This can create bizzare race conditions where unloading interfaces are
getting notified that the link is up.
Let the driver compensate - store the logical requested state of the link
and don't propagate notifications after protocol driver explicitly
requires the link to be unset.

Initial driver submission used GFP_ATOMIC almost inclusively when
allocating memory. We now remedy this point, using GFP_KERNEL where
it's possible.

This patch moves the qed* driver into utilizing the 8.7.3.0 FW.
This new FW is required for a lot of new SW features, including:
- Vlan filtering offload
- Encapsulation offload support
- HW ingress aggregations
As well as paving the way for the possibility of adding storage protocols
in the future.
V2:
- Fix kbuild test robot error/warnings.

Physical LEDs are being controlled by the management FW.
This adds the qed functionality required to request management FW to
change the LED configuration, as well as the necessary APIs for this
functionality to later be used by the protocol drivers.

Physical link is handled by the management Firmware.
This patch lays the infrastructure for attention handling in the driver,
as link change notifications arrive via async. attentions,
as well the handling of such notifications.
This patch also extends the API with the protocol drivers by adding
registered callbacks which the protocol driver passes to qed in order
to be notified of async. events originating from the FW/HW.

This patch adds to the qed the support to configure various L2 elements,
such as channels and basic filtering conditions.
It also enhances its public API to allow qede to later utilize this
functionality.

The Qlogic Everest Driver is the backend module for the QL4xxx ethernet
products by Qlogic.
This module serves two main purposes:
1. It's responsible to contain all the common code that will be shared
between the various drivers that would be used with said line of
products. Flows such as chip initialization and de-initialization
fall under this category.
2. It would abstract the protocol-specific HW & FW components, allowing
the protocol drivers to have a clean APIs which is detached in its
slowpath configuration from the actual HSI.
This adds a very basic module without any protocol-specific bits.
I.e., this adds a basic implementation that almost entirely falls under
the first category.
