The driver today is reading service parameters from the firmware and then overwriting the firmware-provided values with values of its own. There are some switch features that require preliminary FLOGI's that are switch-specific and done prior to the actual fabric FLOGI for traffic. The fw will perform those FLOGIs and will revise the service parameters for the features configured. As the driver later overwrites those values with its own values, it misconfigures things like BBSCN use by doing so. Correct by eliminating the driver-overwrite of firmware values. The driver correctly re-reads the service parameters after each link up to obtain the latest values from firmware.

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.
