author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPD9-2.1
changelog:
  -      **Online firmware flashing of drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or an HP ProLiant host bus adapter (HBA) is NOT supported. Only offline firmware flashing of drives is supported for these configurations.**
        * **Online drive firmware update available for Smart Array Controllers configured in systems running supported Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware environments. All other OSes would require an offline update using the SPP and HP SUM.**
        * **Customers who already installed firmware version HPD9 do not need to update to HPD9 (B).**


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPD9-2.1
changelog:
  -     * Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * Added support for UEFI (Universal Extensible Firmware Interface) based servers.
      
      **Enhancements/New Features for HPD9 (B): **
      
        * Updated the flash engine to standardize logging across all SAS drive components.
        * Enhanced logging capability to improve the details provided in the component log file.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPD9-3.1
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * In previous firmware revisions when the solid state drive was issued a Report Support Operation Code (RSOC) command (A3h) and the reporting options field was set to 001 , the drive incorrectly responded with 05/24/00 indicating that the RSOC command was not supported. The error was logged in the system log files. The drive should have communicated non-support using the Command Data Parameter (CDP) format. The firmware now complies with the RSOC industry standard specification.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.
      
      **Problems Fixed for HPD9 (C):**
      
        * Component would fail to install drive firmware for drives present in a system configured with two or more external drive enclosures attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x. The following message would be reported in the component log file - "Device appears more than once in tree". The drive firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x.
        * Component fails to update the firmware for drives connected behind an HP Smart Array P431 controller. Component reports the firmware update was successful. However, after a power cycle, the firmware version remains unchanged.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.60_11-05-2015
changelog:
  -     Added support for an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0.
      
      Added support to the Embedded UEFI Shell to allow the user to export Secure
      Boot certificates to a file.
      
      Added support to automatically initialize the Trusted Platform Modules (TPM)
      nonvolatile storage when the TPM is first installed on a platform. This
      feature helps avoid issues where a TPM may be locked out from use to an
      operating system and requires the user to manually clear the TPM setting from
      the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) menus when first installed.
      
      Updated branding during the boot process and in the pre-boot System Utilities
      from HP to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. No branding changes were made that
      could impact software running on the system. Industry standard SMBIOS tables
      were NOT updated to reflect Hewlett Packard Enterprise branding.
      
      Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities.
      
      Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the
      latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options.
      
      Added support for the industry standard SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard record.
      
      Added support to the HP RESTful API to allow the user to configure the UEFI
      boot order when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode.

      HPE recommends that users using processors that support VT-d update the BIOS
      to this version.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Advanced ECC feature was displayed incorrectly on
      the graphical POST screen and as a System Utilities BIOS/Platform
      Configuration (RBSU) option. The DL20 Gen9 supports ECC not Advanced ECC.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may incorrectly display an error message
      stating that a device is SR-IOV capable but is installed in a slot that does
      not support SR-IOV.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system is unable to enter package C6 state when
      the processor is idle.
      
      Addressed an issue where the processor frequency would stay high when the
      System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Power Regulator Option is
      confgured to OS Control Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) Processor Core Disable Option would not correctly restore its default
      value when an invalid core number is entered.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) Redundant Power Supply Mode Option setting would not match with the iLO
      Web Management System Information Power page.
      
      Addressed an issue where the user may not be able to properly download an
      Active Health Systems (AHS) file from System Utilities or the Embedded UEFI
      Shell when certain date ranges were used.
      
      Addressed an issue where a system configured with a Trusted Platform Module
      (TPM) may improperly measure an extra EV_SEPARATOR into the TPM PCR7.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Active Health System (AHS) file could not be
      downloaded to the embedded SD card from the Embedded UEFI Shell.
      
      Addressed issues with USB support in the pre-boot environment when the system
      is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. These issues did not affect systems
      configured in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain optional PCIe video adapters would fail to
      work properly when using a Linux operating system.

      Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the PXE Boot Policy does not function properly when
      the Network VLAN Configuration option is enabled. When Network VLAN
      Configuration is enabled, the server would always attempt to boot both iPV4
      and iPV6 regardless of the PXE Boot Order Policy setting.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server would display a Red Screen error and
      become unresponsive when exiting the System Utilities Embedded User
      Diagnostics when configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact
      systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the HP ProLiant Dynamic Power Regulator would not
      function properly when configured for Slow Mode. In rare cases, this could
      cause the system to not optimally switch processor power states.

      the Date and Time option from the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when the
      Daylight Savings Time option is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may display a Red Screen error and become
      unresponsive during boot when more than 256 hard drives are attached to a
      storage controller. The UEFI BIOS will now limit the enumeration of bootable
      devices to 256 entries.
      
      Addressed an issue where video is not displayed when using the embedded video
      controller with certain newer monitors, such as the HP E190i, which do not
      properly operate in native resolutions such as 1280x1024.
      
      Addressed an issue with the incorrect version of the HpServerBootSettings
      schema in the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server could become unresponsive during boot or
      from the Embedded UEFI Shell when a Block I/O device such as a USB key or hard
      drive has a corrupt FAT32 file system.
      
      Addressed an issue where an erroneous 312 - HP Smart Battery error message
      would be displayed and logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on the
      first boot after the system battery was removed from the server.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI or Legacy Option ROM for a PCIe adapter may
      not be properly executed when installed in certain slots. This could cause
      such issues as an inability to boot using the PCIe adapter. This issue was
      seen with a Brocade network adapter but could be seen with other adapters.

      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 series processors in which a
      rare and complex micro-architectural condition may result in unpredictable
      system behavior. While this issue is rare, the workload requirements to expose
      the issue cannot be characterized. This revision of the System ROM contains an
      updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue not
      unique to HPE ProLiant servers and could impact any system utilizing affected
      processors which does not include the updated microcode. Due to the potential
      severity of the issue addressed in this revision of the System ROM, this
      System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix.
      
      Addressed a VT-d security issue. This issue is NOT unique to ProLiant servers.
      HPE recommends that users using processors that support VT-d update the BIOS
      to this version.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Advanced ECC feature was displayed incorrectly on
      the graphical POST screen and as a System Utilities BIOS/Platform
      Configuration (RBSU) option. The ML30 Gen9 supports ECC not Advanced ECC.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may incorrectly display an error message
      stating that a device is SR-IOV capable but is installed in a slot that does
      not support SR-IOV.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system is unable to enter package C6 state when
      the processor is idle.
      
      Addressed an issue where the processor frequency would stay high when the
      System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Power Regulator Option is
      confgured to OS Control Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) Processor Core Disable Option would not correctly restore its default
      value when an invalid core number is entered.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) Redundant Power Supply Mode Option setting would not match with the iLO
      Web Management System Information Power page.
      
      Addressed an issue where the user may not be able to properly download an
      Active Health Systems (AHS) file from System Utilities or the Embedded UEFI
      Shell when certain date ranges were used.
      
      Addressed an issue where a system configured with a Trusted Platform Module
      (TPM) may improperly measure an extra EV_SEPARATOR into the TPM PCR7.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Active Health System (AHS) file could not be
      downloaded to the embedded SD card from the Embedded UEFI Shell.
      
      Addressed issues with USB support in the pre-boot environment when the system
      is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. These issues did not affect systems
      configured in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain optional PCIe video adapters would fail to
      work properly when using a Linux operating system.
      
      Addressed an issue where industry standard SMBIOS Type 9 entries for PCIe
      Slots attached to a not installed processor did not exist.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Boot Configuration may not work
      properly when configuring these options through the HP RESTful Interface. This
      issue does not affect systems where the UEFI iSCSI Boot Configuration is
      configured through the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).
      
      Addressed an issue where the drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller
      may not be detected on the first boot after switching from UEFI Boot Mode to
      Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the PXE Boot Policy does not function properly when
      the Network VLAN Configuration option is enabled. When Network VLAN
      Configuration is enabled, the server would always attempt to boot both iPV4
      and iPV6 regardless of the PXE Boot Order Policy setting.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server would display a Red Screen error and
      become unresponsive when exiting the System Utilities Embedded User
      Diagnostics when configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact
      systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the HP ProLiant Dynamic Power Regulator would not
      function properly when configured for Slow Mode. In rare cases, this could

      the Date and Time option from the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when the
      Daylight Savings Time option is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may display a Red Screen error and become
      unresponsive during boot when more than 256 hard drives are attached to a
      storage controller. The UEFI BIOS will now limit the enumeration of bootable
      devices to 256 entries.
      
      Addressed an issue where video is not displayed when using the embedded video
      controller with certain newer monitors, such as the HP E190i, which do not
      properly operate in native resolutions such as 1280x1024.
      
      Addressed an issue with the incorrect version of the HpServerBootSettings
      schema in the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server could become unresponsive during boot or
      from the Embedded UEFI Shell when a Block I/O device such as a USB key or hard
      drive has a corrupt FAT32 file system.
      
      Addressed an issue where an erroneous 312 - HP Smart Battery error message
      would be displayed and logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on the
      first boot after the system battery was removed from the server.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI or Legacy Option ROM for a PCIe adapter may
      not be properly executed when installed in certain slots. This could cause
      such issues as an inability to boot using the PCIe adapter. This issue was
      seen with a Brocade network adapter but could be seen with other adapters.
      
      Addressed an issue where Extended Page Table (EPT) Write protect fault when
      using string operation in a virtual machine may result in unexpected behavior.

  With every ping command the iocb_cnt was decremented in the IO
  response path without incrementing in the IO request path. Due to this
  the iocb_cnt overruns on the negative side, which makes it larger than
  the IOCB count at firmware level. Hence the driver always returned

  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers
  NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded.
  Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API
  which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version
  qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32().

  Version 5.3.61

  - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2).
  However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be
  collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be
  performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info
  that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional
  Tx ring info data.
  Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of
  additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include
  displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in 2.36.5000:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which caused packet transmission to get stuck when the software tried to send pause frames with dmac equal to one of the device's MAC addresses.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a firmware internal error when handling QP alternative context.
        * Fixed an issue which caused an internal firmware error when APM changed the QPs port mapping.
        * Fixed an issue which caused NVRAM to get stuck when it filled non-valid information in TLV.
        * Fixed an issue which caused lack of IB traffic on SR-IOV VPI.
        * Fixed a race in handling a duplicated "read request from middle".
        * Fixed an issue which caused NVCONFIG to fail when the number of sector was set to 1 and the sector was zeroed.
        * Fixed an issue which caused TX traffic to stop when the message MTU size was larger than QP.mtu.
        * MLNX_OEM command GET_TEMP returned a wrong value in the max_temp field.
        * Fixed a default hardware configuration issue which caused RDP over IPv4 traffic to be dropped.
        * Disabled High Rate Steering mode in the INI to enable its compatibility with NC-SI over VLAN.
        * Fixed failure instances when initiating FLR in the Physical Function.
        * Fixed a wrong returned status in cable info MAD when the cable was not connected.
        * Fixed the length calculation of UDP. The incorrect UDP length in the CNP packet caused miss-calculation of the ICRC.
        * Fixed a completion error issue when ECN was enabled. The ECN usage caused ordering errors in completion queues (CQ).
      
      **Fixes in 14.14.2200:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented MAC address changes by to driver to be reflected in the OBCC and NC-SI interfaces.
        * Added protection from IOPX thermal diode destabilization to prevent UEFI IPv6 PXE boot failure on ConnectX-4 Lx 25GE cards.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a link down in Port 2 when unplugging the cable from Port 1.
        * In some cases, a Bit Error Rate is not optimal on 10G/40G links.
        * Instability of Link Training Flow occurs during 100G Auto-Negotiation.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused the command to hang when moved the QP to RESET and back to RTS.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * Added support for pnat = 1 in HCA access_reg command as required by the ibdiagnet tool.
        * Fixed the LLDP OCBB response: return value is now ascii.
        * Fixed a very rare NMI issue during PXE cycles.
        * Increased the steering hash tables static size from 128 to a maximum of 32K entries.
        * Prevented miscalculation of module temperature when using 100Gb/s cables (OPN: MFA1A00-Cxxx for 100GbE).
        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -     Onboard Administrator 4.50 provides support for the following enhancements:
      
        * **Hardware Additions**
          * Added support for HP 2650W PSU -US PLATINUM DC c7000 power supplies.
      
       Features Additions and Changes
      
        * **General**
          * Introduced a standardized code signing and validation mechanism to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
          * Enhanced the OA CLI SET FACTORY command to set the Administrator password to the factory default "toe tag" password. This helps customers reset the module to the factory defaults including the password.
      
       New CLI command: SET FACTORY [RESTORE_FACTORY_PASSWORD]
      
        * Enhanced the OA firmware to notify users when the network connectivity of the Standby OA is lost. This helps users restore the Standby OA's connectivity to maintain redundancy.
        * Added an option to allow selection of UEFI Target as a One Time Boot option for UEFI enabled blade servers. Now USB, UEFI_SHELL and UEFI_TARGET options have been added as One Time Boot options. The option has been added in both GUI and CLI.
        * The OA bay number is now indicated in the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings page so users can know which bay currently hosts the Active and Standby OA module. The bay number labels would be shifted based on the Active-Standby role transition
        * Added diagnostics for Enclosure management network flooding situations. Now, in the enclosure management network flooding situations, OA will report the top 5 IP addresses in the network that are contributing to the network flood. This will help the customers to identify the source of the flood and take appropriate action.
        * **Remote Support**
          * As an enhancement, SNMP traps for Insight Remote Support service event transmission failures have been added to enable users to monitor this specific trap to identify any service event transmission failures.
          * Added Insight Remote Support service event for indicating low OA RTC battery condition.The service event will give information on the OA module in which the battery is low or failed and the spare part for the replacement battery.
        * **EFM**
          * Added a feature to prevent the flashing of OA firmware while the EFM process is in progress, thereby preventing the devices from getting into an indeterminate state.
          * Enhancements in the EFM feature have been made to handle issues seen in servers that take a longer duration to boot up.
          * Added a syslog notification when the EFM ISO is changed as to indicate the change to users.

  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed.
        * Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled .
        * Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset.
        * Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements.
        * Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER.
        * Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed.
        * Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from "Manual" to "NTP".
        * Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to "must be off".
        * **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-2108 - Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via  any field in crafted serialized data

      Ver. 2.40_02-17-2017 (B)  contains updates to the component packaging and is
      functionally equivalent to ver. 2.40_02-17-2017.  It is not necessary to
      upgrade with Revision B if a previous component Revision was used to upgrade
      the system ROM to version 2.40_02-17-2017.
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during system boot
      when a third party USB 3.0 XHCI adapter card is installed in the server.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may properly indicate that a DIMM has
      experienced a high rate of corrected memory errors in the Integrated
      Management Log (IML), but the DIMM's status may incorrectly be reported in the
      iLO GUI as healthy. The iLO GUI will now report the DIMM's status as degraded.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during system boot
      when a USB-based UPS is attached to the server USB ports. This issue only
      impacted a system when configured for legacy boot mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may not properly report and log errors to
      the Integrated Management Log (IML) detected on the optional HPE Dual SD Card
      option. This issue only impacted logging when the system performed a warm
      reset.

author: QLogic Corp <support@qlogic.com> 5.3.63-3
changelog:
  The following features/fixes have been made to the QLogic Linux NIC
  driver

  Version 5.3.63 (HP NCDE 11.50)

  - Fix memory allocation failures
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Driver was allocating a large chunk of temporary buffer using
  kzalloc to copy FW image. This buffer doesn't need to be physically
  contiguous whereas kzalloc allocates physically contiguous memory.
  This was leading to memory allocation failures when physical memory
  is fragmented.
  Change: Use vzalloc to allocate virtually contiguous memory.
  Introduced: Day One
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A

  - Add support for VF device ID 0x8C30
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: VF device ID 0x8C30 belongs to EP(Target Mode) VF Device.
  Driver did not have support for this device.
  Change: Add support for VF device ID 0x8C30
  Introduced: Day One
  Impact: HW: 0x8C30 device ID based adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A

  - Add support for extended minidump feature [ER0000000135818]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Extended minidump feature allows maximum amount of
  iSCSI debug data to be collected under 0x1F minidump
  capture mask.

  Impact: HW: 0x8830 device ID based adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A

  - Network connectivity issues when using large number of multicast
  groups [ER0000000135449]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Driver keeps adding multicast addresses into the adapter
  filter table without purging removed MACs and worrying
  about adapters filter limit. This resulted in overruning the
  adapter's filter limit without putting device in multicast
  promiscuous mode. This causes traffic to fail for newly added
  multicast addresses after a series of addition and deletion

  Change: Purge stale multicast groups before adding new multicast groups
  Introduced: Day One
  Impact: HW: All
  OS: All
  FW: N/A

  Version 5.3.62.1 (HP NCDE 11.30/11.40)

  - ethtool command is displaying "00:00:00:00:00:00" MAC Address [ER0000000136540]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: ethtool -P ethX command reads netdev->perm_addr. Some distro need
  to set that field explicitly otherwise ethtool command shows
  "00:00:00:00:00:00" MAC Address
  Change: Set netdev->perm_addr in driver

  - Very high Tx values in statistics. 7
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Aggregating tx stats in adapter variable was resulting in an increase in stats even
  after no traffic was run and user runs ifconfig/ethtool command
  Change: qlcnic_update_stats used to accumulate stats in adapter struct at each function call,
  instead accumulate tx stats in local variable and then assign it to adapter structure.

  Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10)

  - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register.
  Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5.
  In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue.
  Change: Set argument to four instead of five.

  Version 5.3.61.1

  - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers
  NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded.
  Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API
  which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version
  qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32().

  Version 5.3.61

  - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2).
  However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be
  collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be
  performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info
  that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional
  Tx ring info data.
  Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of
  additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include
  displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

  Version 5.3.60

  - Pre-allocate DMA buffer used for firmware minidump collection using PEX DMA method [ER0000000132915]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Allocation of DMA buffer at time of firmware dump collection is not guaranteed. So, pre-allocate
  DMA buffer at the driver load time.
  Change: Pre-allocate DMA buffer, required for PEX-DMA operation of firmware dump collection process, at load time of driver.
