The mlxfw module is in charge of common logic needed to flash Mellanox devices firmware, which consists of: - Parse the Mellanox Firmware Archive version 2 (MFA2) format, which is the format used to store the Mellanox firmware. The MFA2 format file can hold firmware for many different silicon variants, differentiated by a unique ID called PSID. In addition, the MFA2 file data section is compressed using xz compression to save both file-system space and memory at extraction time. - Implement the firmware flash state machine logic, which is a common logic for Mellanox products needed to flash the firmware to the device. As the module is shared between different Mellanox products, it defines a set of callbacks to be implemented by the specific driver for hardware interaction.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
