Update 5709 mips firmware to 6.2.1a to fix iSCSI performance
regression. There was an unnecessary context read in the fast path
affecting performance.
Update bnx2 to 2.1.6.

On PPC for example, AER is not supported and we see unnecessary AER
error message without this patch:

TSO does not work if the VLAN tag is in the packet (non-accelerated).
We may be able to remove this restriction in future firmware.

Quoting Ben Hutchings: we presumably won't be defining features that
can only be enabled on 64-bit architectures.

Update MIPS firmware to 6.2.1, with improved small packet performance
in RSS mode, and iSCSI CID allocation bug fix on 5708.

When changing ring size, we free all memory including status block
memory. If we're in INTA mode and sharing IRQ, the IRQ handler can
be called and it will reference the NULL status block pointer.
Because of the lockless design of the IRQ handler, there is no simple
way to synchronize and prevent this. So we avoid this problem by
freeing the IRQ handler before freeing the status block memory.

Michael pointed out that bnx2_close() already cancels bp->reset_task
and thus it is guaranteed to be idle when bnx2_remove_one() is called.
Remove the unnecessary cancel_work_sync() in remove_one.

Using static const generally increases object text and decreases data size.
It also generally decreases overall object size.

In KVM passthrough mode, the driver may not have config access to
non-standard registers. The BNX2_PCICFG_MISC_CONFIG config register
access to setup mailbox swapping can be done using MMIO.

The 5709 chip requires the BNX2_MISC_NEW_CORE_CTL_DMA_ENABLE bit to be
cleared and polling for pending DMAs to complete before chip reset.
Without this step, we've seen NMIs during repeated resets of the chip.

Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb. There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances. However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.

To prevent unnecessary error message. pci_save_state() is also moved to
the end of ->probe() so that all PCI config, including AER state, will be
saved.

fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0)
We can avoid setting again skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers.
Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this
assertion documented in driver sources.
Change most occurrences of :
skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE;
by :
skb_checksum_none_assert(skb);
