We generally look up firmware by card type, but that doesn't allow
users who have more than one card of the same type in their system
to select firmware per adapter.
Unfortunately user space firmware helper seems fraught with
difficulties and to be on its way out. In particular support for
handling firmware uevents have been dropped from systemd and most
distributions don't enable the FW fallback by default any more.
To allow users selecting firmware for a particular device look up
firmware names by serial and pci_name(). Use the direct lookup to
disable generating uevents when enabled in Kconfig and not print
any warnings to logs if adapter-specific files are missing. Users
can place in /lib/firmware/netronome files named:
pci-${pci_name}.nffw
serial-${serial}.nffw
to target a specific card. E.g.:
pci-0000:04:00.0.nffw
pci-0000:82:00.0.nffw
serial-00-aa-bb-11-22-33-10-ff.nffw
We use the full serial number including the interface id, as it
appears in lspci output (bytes separated by '-').
