Driver assigns DMAE channel 0 for FW as part of START_RAMROD command. FW
uses this channel for DMAE operations (e.g., TIME_SYNC implementation).
Driver also uses the same channel 0 for DMAE operations for some of the PFs
(e.g., PF0 on Port0). This could lead to concurrent access to the DMAE
channel by FW and driver which is not legal. Hence need to assign unique
DMAE id for FW.
Currently following DMAE channels are used by the clients,
MFW - OCBB/OCSD functionality uses DMAE channel 14/15
Driver 0-3 and 8-11 (for PF dmae operations)
4 and 12 (for stats requests)
Assigning unique dmae_id '13' to the FW.

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.
