From 05c6a8d7a7d778f26d8eb821556988993b766092 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ajit Khaparde Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2009 17:02:55 +0000 Subject: net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file. This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip. Signed-off-by: Ajit Khaparde Signed-off-by: David S.
