Title:
Backport more recent Broadcom bnxt_en driver
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
The current Xenial bnxt_en driver only supports a limited (old) set of
Broadcom NICs. We want to support newer NICs in Xenial without adding
risk for existing users.
The plan is to provide a separate driver called bnxt_en_bpo which is a
backported driver from Broadcom. This driver will be modified to only
support the new NICs that the current kernel driver does not support
so that they both can co-exist.
In other words, NICs that used to be supported by Xenial will still be
managed by the current (unmodified) bnxt_en driver. Newer NICs will be
managed by the new bnxt_en_bpo driver.
[Test Case]
Due to the unavailability of Broadcom HW, the only test that was run
was to manually load both the bnxt_en and bnxt_en_bpo module to ensure
that they can co-exist.
[Regression Potential]
There should be no regression potential, since the current driver is
not modified and the new driver only loads for NICs that are not
handled by the current driver.
