BNXT patches

[Patrick Robb]

That solution also makes sense.

For the per-branch periodic testing page that Thomas is mentioning (here:
https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/periodic_testing/) we are publishing
regular test reports on next-net, but not next-net-brcm. But, it makes
sense for us to start periodic runs on next-net-brcm, so I will add this
now. It should only take a few minutes to add to our CI system. Then I will
do a manual trigger which will add the first periodic testrun for
next-net-brcm. Otherwise, it should run once every other day at midnight US
eastern time.

Let us know if this solution works for you Ajit. Thanks.
