[PATCH net-next v3 0/7] octeon_ep: deferred probe and mailbox

[Veerasenareddy Burru <vburru@marvell.com>]

Implement Deferred probe, mailbox enhancements and heartbeat monitor.

v2 -> v3:
   - removed SRIOV VF support changes from v2, as new drivers which use
     ndo_get_vf_xxx() and ndo_set_vf_xxx() are not accepted.
     https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221207200204.6819575a@kernel.org/

     Will implement VF representors and submit again.
   - 0007-xxx.patch and 0008-xxx.patch from v2 are removed and
     0009-xxx.patch in v2 is now 0007-xxx.patch in v3.
   - accordingly, changed title for cover letter.

v1 -> v2:
   - remove separate workqueue task to wait for firmware ready.
     instead defer probe when firmware is not ready.
