Cannot issue any other mailbox command while firmware download is in progress.
The get_drvinfo ethtool hook can be invoked without acquiring any rtnl_lock.
So removing the be_get_fw_ver query from be_get_drvinfo ethtool hook as it times
out during firmware download.

Although I documented that as being possible in ethtool.h, that was only
because of one particular caller that has since been removed (commit
e52ac3398c3d 'net: Use device model to get driver name in
skb_gso_segment()').  So unless I missed another case, you could change
the documentation.

Ben.

Yes, will do so though I guess with that, it would no longer qualify as a bug-fix ,but would be more of a  cleanup(net-next) patch.

Thanks

Ben, pls correct me if my understanding is wrong here , but I do see one more case where it might have been missed and that 
Is in the function - is_cnic_dev() in cnic.c , I believe this was the case that we were trying to work-around with.

Thanks

It's called from a netdev notifier, which holds the RTNL lock.
