[ Upstream commit 706d08913d1f68610c32b4a001026aa989878dd9 ]
Align the use of local PTT to propagate through the qed_mcp* API's.
Global ptt should not be used.
Register access should be done through layers. Register address is
mapped into a PTT, PF translation table. Several interface functions
require a PTT to direct read/write into register. There is a pool of
PTT maintained, and several PTT are used simultaneously to access
device registers in different flows. Same PTT should not be used in
flows that can run concurrently.
To avoid running out of PTT resources, too many PTT should not be
acquired without releasing them. Every PF has a global PTT, which is
used throughout the life of PF, in most important flows for register
access. Generic functions acquire the PTT locally and release after
the use. This patch aligns the use of Global PTT and Local PTT
accordingly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
