From 70ca5d746cf0c16576cee43fea6a19116ab49d9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ariel Elior Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 04:08:28 +0000 Subject: bnx2x: Ack unknown VF messages A PF should ack the firmware when receiving unknown messages through the VF's mailbox. This prevents the VF mailbox from being stuck in case of a VF sending a message unknown to the PF (e.g. VF with more advanced version).
