The bnx2x development team has transferred from Broadcom to Qlogic.
This patch updates some obsolete email addresses to usable ones.
The bnx2x files contain headers with legal information from
Broadcom. Qlogic Legal depratment is taking their time coming up
with their own legal info. So this patch only updates contact
information. I will follow up with a patch for the headers once I
have the required info.

As part of a register dump, the interface pretends to have the identity
of other interfaces of the same physical device in order to perform
HW configuration for them - specifically, it needs to prevent attentions
from generating on those functions as the register dump accesses registers
in common blocks which whose reading might generate an attention.

However, such pretension is unsafe - unlike other flows in which the driver
uses pretend, during register dump there is no guarantee no other HW access
will take place (by other flows). If such access will take place, the HW will
be accessed by the wrong interface, and leave both functions in an incorrect
state.

This patch removes all pretensions from the register dump flow. Instead, it
changes initial configuration of attentions such that no fatal attention will
be generated for other functions as a result of the register dump
(notice however, a debug print claiming an attention from other functions IS
possible during the register dump)

This patch moves the bnx2x and cnic drivers into using FW 7.8.2
which was recently submitted into the linux-firmware tree.

A short summary of minor bugs fixed by this FW:
1. In switch dependent mode, fix several issues regarding inner vlan
vs. DCB priorities.
2. iSCSI - not all packets were completed on a forward channel.
3. DCB - fixed for 4-port devices.
4. Fixed false parity reported in CAM memories when operating near -5%
on the 1.0V core supply.
5. ETS default settings are set to fairness between traffic classes
(rather than strict priority), and uses the same chip receive buffer
configuration for both PFC and pause.

For a complete list of fixes made by this FW, see commit 236367db
in the linux-firmware git repository.

Following patch adds afex multifunction support to the driver (afex
multifunction is based on vntag header) and updates FW version used to 7.2.51.

Support includes the following:

1. Configure vif parameters in firmware (default vlan, vif id, default
priority, allowed priorities) according to values received from NIC.
2. Configure FW to strip/add default vlan according to afex vlan mode.
3. Notify link up to OS only after vif is fully initialized.
4. Support vif list set/get requests and configure FW accordingly.
5. Supply afex statistics upon request from NIC.
6. Special handling to L2 interface in case of FCoE vif.

Commit b475d78 lacked two pairs of parenthesis, causing an overflow in the
congestion management.

The congestion management code has migrated into a common location,
allowing all fw writes controlling mf congestion to be made in a
single function in the code. This is a semantic change.
