I suppose it's my fault for not getting around to this sooner, but I've
been waiting for the fallout to settle with tg3 and follow the leader.

Anyways, is it too much to ask for you to CC the maintainer? Hell, you
added a line right above my email address, so it wouldn't have been hard
for you to find...
Sorry about that - I looked for a maintainer but there was no listing
for "typhoon" in MAINTAINERS nor any recent change to the driver that
was not part of a general API change.  Email addresses in source files
tend to be outdated, so I didn't look for them.  I see now that you have
an entry under "3CR990" in MAINTAINERS, but that isn't the driver name.
Please could you change that so that it's easier for people to find you?
I suppose I better test this sooner rather than later, because I think
you've broken it. The firmware gets vmalloc'd, which means it is not
necessarily physically contiguous, and I don't think pci_map_single() is
going to like that since the firmware is always larger than a page. But
I may be wrong on this.
You could well be right.

Ben.
