Two enhancements: 1. Read the health status first before sending the first HWRM_VER_GET message to firmware instead of the other way around. This guarantees we got the accurate health status before we attempt to send the message. 2. We currently only retry sending the first HWRM_VER_GET message to the firmware if the firmware is in the process of booting. If the firmware is in error state and is doing core dump for example, the driver should also retry if the health register has the RECOVERING flag set. This flag indicates the firmware will undergo recovery soon. Modify the retry logic to retry for this case as well.

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.
