** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * There is new version of bnx2x firmware
  
   * oem-5.14 and hwe-5.15 kernels use that one; and when not found
  fallback to previous version of firmware.
  
  [Test Plan]
  
   * sudo apt install initramfs-tools
   * echo bnx2x | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
   * sudo apt install linux-oem-20.04 linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge
  
  With current linux-firmware the above results in:
  
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-22-generic
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw for 
module bnx2x
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.21.0.fw for 
module bnx2x
  W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.21.0.fw for 
module bnx2x
  
  with updated linux-firmware no lines of "Possible missing firmware"
  should appear.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  
   * v21 firmware version is backwards compatible with v15 firmware
  previously used, but includes bugfixes. It may result in different NIC
  behavior.
  
  [Other Info]
  
   * The v21 firmware is already present in Jammy
-  * The kernels that use v21 firmware are not going to be shipped in Impish
-  * The kernels that use v21 firmware will be available/used in Focal
+  * The kernels that use v21 firmware are not going to be shipped in Impish
+  * The kernels that use v21 firmware will be available/used in Focal
+ 
+ Upstream changelog for the blobs:
+ 
+ New firmware v7.13.21.0 along with below fixes/enhancements (which
+ were also part of 7.13.20.0) maintains backward compatibility as well,
+ so that driver can be worked with both the new firmware and an older
+ firmware.
+ 
+ - Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for
+   invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF start
+ - BRB parity error detection support for the driver
+ - Fix the FCOE underrun flow
+ - Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver
