The conversion follows this general pattern for most of the calls: 1. The input message is changed from a stack variable initialized using bnxt_hwrm_cmd_hdr_init() to a pointer allocated and intialized using hwrm_req_init(). 2. If we don't need to read the firmware response, the hwrm_send_message() call is replaced with hwrm_req_send(). 3. If we need to read the firmware response, the mutex lock is replaced by hwrm_req_hold() to hold the response. When the response is read, the mutex unlock is replaced by hwrm_req_drop(). If additional DMA buffers are needed for firmware response data, the hwrm_req_dma_slice() is used instead of calling dma_alloc_coherent(). Some minor refactoring is also done while doing these conversions. v2: Fix unintialized variable warnings in __bnxt_hwrm_get_tx_rings() and bnxt_approve_mac() Signed-off-by: Edwin Peer <edwin.peer@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
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.
