Current net-next/main does not boot for older chipsets e.g. Stratus.
Sample dmesg:
[ 11.368315] bnxt_en 0000:02:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Able to reserve only 0 out of 9 requested RX rings
[ 11.390181] bnxt_en 0000:02:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Unable to reserve tx rings
[ 11.438780] bnxt_en 0000:02:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): 2nd rings reservation failed.
[ 11.487559] bnxt_en 0000:02:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Not enough rings available.
[ 11.506012] bnxt_en 0000:02:00.0: probe with driver bnxt_en failed with error -12
This is caused by bnxt_get_avail_msix() returning a negative value for
these chipsets not using the new resource manager i.e. !BNXT_NEW_RM.
This in turn causes hwr.cp in __bnxt_reserve_rings() to be set to 0.
In the current call stack, __bnxt_reserve_rings() is called from
bnxt_set_dflt_rings() before bnxt_init_int_mode(). Therefore,
bp->total_irqs is always 0 and for !BNXT_NEW_RM bnxt_get_avail_msix()
always returns a negative number.
Historically, MSIX vectors were requested by the RoCE driver during
run-time and bnxt_get_avail_msix() was used for this purpose. Today,
RoCE MSIX vectors are statically allocated. bnxt_get_avail_msix() should
only be called for the BNXT_NEW_RM() case to reserve the MSIX ahead of
time for RoCE use.
bnxt_get_avail_msix() is also be simplified to handle the BNXT_NEW_RM()
case only.

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.
