This adds the infrastructure to support older firmware APIs. The API version number is stored as part of the filename, we first try to load the most recent firmware and progressively try lower versions. The API version is also read from the firmware self and stored as part of the iwl_priv structure. Only firmware that is supported by driver will be loaded. The version number read from firmware is compared to supported versions in the driver not the API version used as part of filename. An example using this new infrastrucure: if (IWL_UCODE_API(priv->ucode_ver) >= 2) { Driver interacts with Firmware API version >= 2. } else { Driver interacts with Firmware API version 1. } Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
