Some kernels now enable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM which prevents multiple handles to PCI resource0. In order to continue to support expansion ROM updates while the driver is loaded, the driver must now provide an interface to control the expansion ROM write protection. This patch adds an exprom_wp debugfs interface that allows the hfi1_eprom user tool to disable the expansion ROM write protection by opening the file and writing a '1'. The write protection is released when writing a '0' or automatically re-enabled when the file handle is closed. The current implementation will only allow one handle to be opened at a time across all hfi1 devices.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
