Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The qle driver for the Qlogic FastLinQ QL45000 Series 40GbE Adapter doesn't
find devices. This is because the driver, by default, is loaded by the
initramfs, and the initramfs does not contain the required firmware blob. The
root cause is that the driver does not use implement the MODULE_FIRMWARE
macro(), which is required for initramfs-tools to find and pre-load the
required firmware.
[Test Case]
Install a system with a Qlogic FastLinQ QL45000 Series 40GbE Adapter. On
failure, dmesg will show:
[ 5.934190] qede 0009:90:00.0: Direct firmware load for
qed/qed_init_values_zipped-8.4.2.0.bin failed with error -2

[Regression Risk]
Fix is upstream and the macro usage is well defined.
