scsi: lpfc: Fix panic on BFS configuration
To select the appropriate shost template, the driver is issuing a mailbox command to retrieve the wwn. Turns out the sending of the command precedes the reset of the function. On SLI-4 adapters, this is inconsequential as the mailbox command location is specified by dma via the BMBX register. However, on SLI-3 adapters, the location of the mailbox command submission area changes. When the function is first powered on or reset, the cmd is submitted via PCI bar memory. Later the driver changes the function config to use host memory and DMA. The request to start a mailbox command is the same, a simple doorbell write, regardless of submission area. So.. if there has not been a boot driver run against the adapter, the mailbox command works as defaults are ok. But, if the boot driver has configured the card and, and if no platform pci function/slot reset occurs as the os starts, the mailbox command will fail. The SLI-3 device will use the stale boot driver dma location. This can cause PCI eeh errors. Fix is to reset the sli-3 function before sending the mailbox command, thus synchronizing the function/driver on mailbox location. Note: The fix uses routines that are typically invoked later in the call flow to reset the sli-3 device. The issue in using those routines is that the normal (non-fix) flow does additional initialization, namely the allocation of the pport structure. So, rather than significantly reworking the initialization flow so that the pport is alloc'd first, pointer checks are added to work around it. Checks are limited to the routines invoked by a sli-3 adapter (s3 routines) as this fix/early call is only invoked on a sli3 adapter. Nothing changes post the fix. Subsequent initialization, and another adapter reset, still occur - both on sli-3 and sli-4 adapters.
