Management firmware is used as arbiter between different PFs which are loading/unloading, but in order to use the synchronization it offers the contending configurations need to be applied either between their LOAD_REQ <-> LOAD_DONE or UNLOAD_REQ <-> UNLOAD_DONE management firmware commands. Existing HW stop flow utilizes 2 different functions: qed_hw_stop() and qed_hw_reset() which don't abide this requirement; Most of the closure is doing outside the scope of the unload request. This patch removes qed_hw_reset() and places the relevant stop functionality underneath the management firmware protection.

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.
