Implement state machine to detect firmware hung state and recover. Since firmware will be shared by all PCI functions that have different class drivers (NIC or FCOE or iSCSI), explicit hardware based serialization is required for initializing firmware. o Used global scratchpad register to maintain device reference count. Every probed pci function adds to ref count. o Implement timer (delayed work) for each pci func that checks firmware heartbit every 5 sec and detaches itself if firmware is dead. Last detaching function reloads firmware. Other functions wait for firmware init, and re-attach themselves. Heartbit is not supported by NX2031 firmware.
