Alice Michael 4ff0ee1af0 i40e: Introduce recovery mode support
This patch introduces "recovery mode" to the i40e driver. It is
part of a new Any2Any idea of upgrading the firmware. In this
approach, it is required for the driver to have support for
"transition firmware", that is used for migrating from structured
to flat firmware image. In this new, very basic mode, i40e driver
must be able to handle particular IOCTL calls from the NVM Update
Tool and run a small set of AQ commands.

These additional AQ commands are part of the interface used by
the NVMUpdate tool.  The NVMUpdate tool contains all of the
necessary logic to reference these new AQ commands.  The end user
experience remains the same, they are using the NVMUpdate tool to
update the NVM contents.

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.
