Linux kernel source tree
20d2e88cc7
After the driver loads we need to get some initial capabilities from the firmware to determine what the device is capable of and what functionality needs to be enabled. Specifically we receive information about the current state of the link and if a BMC is present. After that when we bring the interface up we will need the ability to take ownership from the FW. To do that we will need to notify it that we are taking control before we start configuring the traffic classifier and MAC. Once we have ownership we need to notify the firmware that we are still present and active. To do that we will send a regular heartbeat to the FW. If the FW doesn't receive the heartbeat in a timely fashion it will retake control of the RPC and MAC and assume that the host has gone offline.

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 reStructuredText 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.
