Of course, the FW doesn't handle the event, it handles the request by
sending the port info to the SM.
It also generates an appropriate event to SW. The actual re-registration
is to be done by the SW in ULPs.
An alternative way to generate the event is catching the request MAD in
smp_snoop, as you suggested, but the port info still will be sent by the
FW.

Yes, I agree with you about your preference to have a software solution,
but the actual ClientReregister request handling is done by the FW,
isn't it?
No, FW does not do any handling AFAIK. I think it has the capability to push the
event to software, but the actual re-registration still has to be done by ULPs.
