Manish Chopra 6840fdeab4 bnx2x: fix built-in kernel driver load failure 
[ Upstream commit 424e7834e2 ]

Commit b7a49f7305 ("bnx2x: Utilize firmware 7.13.21.0")
added request_firmware() logic in probe() which caused
load failure when firmware file is not present in initrd (below),
as access to firmware file is not feasible during probe.

  Direct firmware load for bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.15.0.fw failed with error -2
  Direct firmware load for bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw failed with error -2

This patch fixes this issue by -

1. Removing request_firmware() logic from the probe()
   such that .ndo_open() handle it as it used to handle
   it earlier

2. Given request_firmware() is removed from probe(), so
   driver has to relax FW version comparisons a bit against
   the already loaded FW version (by some other PFs of same
   adapter) to allow different compatible/close enough FWs with which
   multiple PFs may run with (in different environments), as the
   given PF who is in probe flow has no idea now with which firmware
   file version it is going to initialize the device in ndo_open()

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
