[ Upstream commit 77e461d14ed141253573eeeb4d34eccc51e38328 ]
Driver assigns DMAE channel 0 for FW as part of START_RAMROD command. FW
uses this channel for DMAE operations (e.g., TIME_SYNC implementation).
Driver also uses the same channel 0 for DMAE operations for some of the PFs
(e.g., PF0 on Port0). This could lead to concurrent access to the DMAE
channel by FW and driver which is not legal. Hence need to assign unique
DMAE id for FW.
Currently following DMAE channels are used by the clients,
MFW - OCBB/OCSD functionality uses DMAE channel 14/15
Driver 0-3 and 8-11 (for PF dmae operations)
4 and 12 (for stats requests)
Assigning unique dmae_id '13' to the FW.

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.
