[ Upstream commit 9cb9dadb8f45c67e4310e002c2f221b70312b293 ]
There is a case found in heavy testing where a link flap happens just
before a firmware Recovery event and the driver gets stuck in the
BROKEN state. This comes from the driver getting interrupted by a FW
generation change when coming back up from the link flap, and the call
to ionic_start_queues() in ionic_link_status_check() fails. This can be
addressed by having the fw_up code clear the BROKEN bit if seen, rather
than waiting for a user to manually force the interface down and then
back up.

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.
