In the NIC firmware, the 1-bit flag indicating "firmware is loaded" moved from SLI_SCRATCH_1 to SLI_SCRATCH_2 (these are Octeon general-purpose scratch registers). Make the PF driver conform to this change. Remove code that sets the "firmware is loaded" flag because it's now the firmware's job to do that. In the code that detects whether or not the firmware is loaded, don't just rely on checking the "firmware is loaded" flag because that may cause a rare false negative. Add code that deduces whether or not the firmware is loaded; that will never give a false negative. Also bump up driver version to match newer NIC firmware.

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.
