mainlining shenanigans
Currently when we want to bring the interface up, we first reset the device which causes the boot loader to run. Then we halt the device CPU, load FW image and resume the device CPU. There are some boot loader versions which perform redundant memory accesses even when idle. Halting the device CPU while boot loader access memory can cause the device memory controller to get stuck, the FW will fail to load and the network interface will not come up. For such boot loaders implement a workaround where we freeze the boot loader before halting the device CPU, so it will not perform any memory accesses.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
