SFP can come in 2 formats: short range/SR and long range/LR. For LR, user the can increase the number of Buffer to Buffer credits between end points via Cavium's command line tool. By default, FW uses a lower BB Credit value optimized for SR. This patch will read the SFP for each link up event and during chip reset sequence. If the SFP type and setting are mismatch, then the chip is reset 1 time to use the appropriate setting.

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.
