commitdb7a691a15upstream. If the firmware reports a connection width that is not 1x, 4x, 8x or 12x it causes the driver to fail during initialization. To prevent this failure every time a new width is introduced to the RDMA stack, we will set a default 4x width for these widths which ar unknown to the driver. This is needed to allow to run old kernels with new firmware.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
