    ionic: new ionic device identity level and VF start control · f43a96d9
    Shannon Nelson authored
    A new ionic dev_cmd is added to the interface in ionic_if.h,
    with a new capabilities field in the ionic device identity to
    signal its availability in the FW.  The identity level code is
    incremented to '2' to show support for this new capabilities
    bitfield.
    
    If the driver has indicated with the new identity level that
    it has the VF_CTRL command, newer FW will wait for the start
    command before starting the VFs after a FW update or crash
    recovery.
    
    This patch updates the driver to make use of the new VF start
    control in fw_up path to be sure that the PF has set the user
    attributes on the VF before the FW allows the VFs to restart.
