> Subject: [PATCH v8] net/ice: support device-specific DDP package loading
> 
> This patch adds the feature that supports loading DDP package according to
> the device serial number. Prior to loading the default DDP package (ice.pkg),
> the driver will check for the presence of a device-specific DDP package with the
> name containing 64-bit PCIe Device Serial Number (ice-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pkg)
> during initialization. Users can use "lspci -vs" to get the device serial number.
> The pkg search path are /lib/firmware/updates/intel/ice/ddp/
> and /lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/. If the package exists, the driver will
> download it to the device instead of the default one. The loaded package type
> (OS default and COMMS) will be stored in ice_adapter->active_pkg_type. The
> package version is stored in ice_hw->active_pkg_ver.
