When reading from the NVM using a flat address, it is useful to know the upper bound on the size of the flash contents. This value is not stored within the NVM. We can determine the size by performing a bisection between upper and lower bounds. It is known that the size cannot exceed 16 MB (offset of 0xFFFFFF). Use a while loop to bisect the upper and lower bounds by reading one byte at a time. On a failed read, lower the maximum bound. On a successful read, increase the lower bound. Save this as the flash_size in the ice_nvm_info structure that contains data related to the NVM. The size will be used in a future patch for implementing full NVM read via ethtool's GEEPROM command. The maximum possible size for the flash is bounded by the size limit for the NVM AdminQ commands. Add a new macro, ICE_AQC_NVM_MAX_OFFSET, which can be used to represent this upper bound.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
