bna & bfa firmware version 3.2.5.1 was submitted to linux-firmware on
Feb 17 19:10:20 2015 -0500 in 0ab54ff1dc ("linux-firmware: Add QLogic BR
Series Adapter Firmware").
bna was updated to use the newer firmware on Feb 19 16:02:32 2015 -0500 in
3f307c3d70 ("bna: Update the Driver and Firmware Version")
bfa was not updated. I presume this was an oversight but it broke support
for bfa+bna cards such as the following
04:00.0 Fibre Channel [0c04]: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
04:00.1 Fibre Channel [0c04]: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
04:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Brocade Communications Systems,
Inc. 1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
04:00.3 Ethernet controller [0200]: Brocade Communications Systems,
Inc. 1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
Currently, if the bfa module is loaded first, bna fails to probe the
respective devices with
[ 215.026787] bna: QLogic BR-series 10G Ethernet driver - version: 3.2.25.1
[ 215.043707] bna 0000:04:00.2: bar0 mapped to ffffc90001fc0000, len 262144
[ 215.060656] bna 0000:04:00.2: initialization failed err=1
[ 215.073893] bna 0000:04:00.3: bar0 mapped to ffffc90002040000, len 262144
[ 215.090644] bna 0000:04:00.3: initialization failed err=1
Whereas if bna is loaded first, bfa fails with
[ 249.592109] QLogic BR-series BFA FC/FCOE SCSI driver - version: 3.2.25.0
[ 249.610738] bfa 0000:04:00.0: Running firmware version is incompatible with the driver version
[ 249.833513] bfa 0000:04:00.0: bfa init failed
[ 249.833919] scsi host6: QLogic BR-series FC/FCOE Adapter, hwpath: 0000:04:00.0 driver: 3.2.25.0
[ 249.841446] bfa 0000:04:00.1: Running firmware version is incompatible with the driver version
[ 250.045449] bfa 0000:04:00.1: bfa init failed
[ 250.045962] scsi host7: QLogic BR-series FC/FCOE Adapter, hwpath: 0000:04:00.1 driver: 3.2.25.0
Increase bfa's requested firmware version. Also increase the driver
version. I only tested that all of the devices probe without error.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
