Hi All,

1.       What is the current recommended method for upgrading firmware for =
HBAs?

2.       Is there a mechanism wherein the firmware binary can be provided a=
s a separate file, which is then made accessible to the  corresponding devi=
ce driver during device initialization?

3.       Is there a restriction on the size of driver.ko file? If not, is i=
t acceptable to provide the firmware as fw_file.c which is then compiled in=
to the driver.
Thanks
david S.
