[PATCH v3 6/8] bnxt_en: use new taint_firmware_crashed()

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-05-26 14:58:37
Also in: linux-doc, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: broadcom bnxt_en 50 gigabit ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Michael Chan, Pavan Chebbi, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Vasundhara Volam <redacted>

This makes use of the new module_firmware_crashed() to help
annotate when firmware for device drivers crash. When firmware
crashes devices can sometimes become unresponsive, and recovery
sometimes requires a driver unload / reload and in the worst cases
a reboot.

Using a taint flag allows us to annotate when this happens clearly.
