    bnxt_en: Add support to collect crash dump via ethtool · 0b0eacf3
    Vasundhara Volam authored
    Driver supports 2 types of core dumps.
    
    1. Live dump - Firmware dump when system is up and running.
    2. Crash dump - Dump which is collected during firmware crash
                    that can be retrieved after recovery.
    Crash dump is currently supported only on specific 58800 chips
    which can be retrieved using OP-TEE API only, as firmware cannot
    access this region directly.
    
    User needs to set the dump flag using following command before
    initiating the dump collection:
    
        $ ethtool -W|--set-dump eth0 N
    
    Where N is "0" for live dump and "1" for crash dump
    
    Command to collect the dump after setting the flag:
    
        $ ethtool -w eth0 data Filename
    
    v3: Modify set_dump to support even when CONFIG_TEE_BNXT_FW=n.
    Also change log message to netdev_info().
