This pushes qed [and as result, all qed* drivers] into using 8.20.0.0
firmware. The changes are mostly contained in qed with minor changes
to qedi due to some HSI changes.
Content-wise, the firmware contains fixes to various issues exposed
since the release of the previous firmware, including:
- Corrects iSCSI fast retransmit when data digest is enabled.
- Stop draining packets when receiving several consecutive PFCs.
- Prevent possible assertion when consecutively opening/closing
many connections.
- Prevent possible assertion due to too long BDQ fetch time.
In addition, the new firmware would allow us to later add iWARP support
in qed and qedr.

This patch advances the qed* drivers into using the newer firmware -
This solves several firmware bugs, mostly related [but not limited to]
various init/deinit issues in various offloaded protocols.
It also introduces a major 4-Cached SGE change in firmware, which can be
seen in the storage drivers' changes.
In addition, this firmware is required for supporting the new QL41xxx
series of adapters; While this patch doesn't add the actual support,
the firmware contains the necessary initialization & firmware logic to
operate such adapters [actual support would be added later on].

Since the submission of the qedr driver, there's inconsistency
in the licensing of the various qed/qede files - some are GPLv2
and some are dual-license.
Since qedr requires dual-license and it's dependent on both,
we're updating the licensing of all qed/qede source files.

This new firmware for the qed* adpaters fixes several issues:
- Better blocking of malicious VFs.
- After FLR, Tx-switching [internal routing] of packets might
be incorrect.
- Deletion of unicast MAC filters would sometime have side-effect
of corrupting the MAC filters configred for a device.
It also contains fixes for future qed* drivers that *hopefully* would be
sent for review in the near future.
In addition, it would allow driver some new functionality, including:
- Allowing PF/VF driver compaitibility with old drivers [running
pre-8.10.5.0 firmware].
- Better debug facilities.
This would also bump the qed* driver versions to 8.10.9.20.

The New QED firmware contains several fixes, including:
- Wrong classification of packets in 4-port devices.
- Anti-spoof interoperability with encapsulated packets.
- Tx-switching of encapsulated packets.
It also slightly improves Tx performance of the device.
In addition, this firmware contains the necessary logic for
supporting iscsi & rdma, for which we plan on pushing protocol
drivers in the imminent future.

This patch moves the qed* driver into utilizing the 8.7.3.0 FW.
This new FW is required for a lot of new SW features, including:
- Vlan filtering offload
- Encapsulation offload support
- HW ingress aggregations
As well as paving the way for the possibility of adding storage protocols
in the future.
V2:
- Fix kbuild test robot error/warnings.

This patch adds a public API for a network driver to work on top of QED.
The interface itself is very minimal - it's mostly infrastructure, as the
only content it has after this patch is a query for HW-based information
required for the creation of a network interface [I.e., no actual
protocol-specific configurations are supported].
