Here we return existing fw & mfw versions, we also fetch device's
serial number:
~$ sudo ~/iproute2/devlink/devlink dev info
pci/0000:01:00.1:
driver qed
board.serial_number REE1915E44552
versions:
running:
fw.app 8.42.2.0
stored:
fw.mgmt 8.52.10.0
MFW and FW are different firmwares on device.
Management is a firmware responsible for link configuration and
various control plane features. Its permanent and resides in NVM.
Running FW (or fastpath FW) is an embedded microprogram implementing
all the packet processing, offloads, etc. This FW is being loaded
on each start by the driver from FW binary blob.
The base device specific structure (qed_dev_info) was not directly
available to the base driver before. Thus, here we create and store
a private copy of this structure in qed_dev root object to
access the data.

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.
