    qed: Move doorbell calculation from VF to PF · 5040acf5
    Yuval Mintz authored
    Today, the VF is aware of its queues context-ids, and calculates the
    doorbell address when opening its queues on its own.
    The configuration of doorbells in HW can sometime in the future be changed
    by the PF [hw has several configurable features that might affect doorbell
    addresses, e.g., dpm support], this would break compatibility with older
    VFs as their calculated doorbell addresses would be incorrect for such a
    configuration.
    
    In order to avoid such a backward compatibility failure, let the PF make
    the calculation of the doorbell offset based on the context-id, and pass
    that to the VF.
