Align the use of local PTT to propagate through the qed_mcp* API's. Global ptt should not be used. Register access should be done through layers. Register address is mapped into a PTT, PF translation table. Several interface functions require a PTT to direct read/write into register. There is a pool of PTT maintained, and several PTT are used simultaneously to access device registers in different flows. Same PTT should not be used in flows that can run concurrently. To avoid running out of PTT resources, too many PTT should not be acquired without releasing them. Every PF has a global PTT, which is used throughout the life of PF, in most important flows for register access. Generic functions acquire the PTT locally and release after the use. This patch aligns the use of Global PTT and Local PTT accordingly. Signed-off-by: Rahul Verma <rahul.verma@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior <ariel.elior@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
