Subject: scsi: bfa: Increase requested firmware version to 3.2.5.1

From: Benjamin Poirier <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 2d1148f0f45079d25a0fa0d67e4fdb2a656d12fb ]

bna & bfa firmware version 3.2.5.1 was submitted to linux-firmware on

Feb 17 19:10:20 2015 -0500 in 0ab54ff1dc ("linux-firmware: Add QLogic BR

Series Adapter Firmware").

bna was updated to use the newer firmware on Feb 19 16:02:32 2015 -0500 in 3f307c3d70 ("bna: Update the Driver and Firmware Version")

bfa was not updated. I presume this was an oversight but it broke support for bfa+bna cards such as the following

	04:00.0 Fibre Channel [0c04]: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
		1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
	04:00.1 Fibre Channel [0c04]: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
		1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
	04:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Brocade Communications Systems,
		Inc. 1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)
	04:00.3 Ethernet controller [0200]: Brocade Communications Systems,
		Inc. 1010/1020/1007/1741 10Gbps CNA [1657:0014] (rev 01)

Currently, if the bfa module is loaded first, bna fails to probe the respective devices with

[  215.026787] bna: QLogic BR-series 10G Ethernet driver - version: 3.2.25.1
[  215.043707] bna 0000:04:00.2: bar0 mapped to ffffc90001fc0000, len 262144
[  215.060656] bna 0000:04:00.2: initialization failed err=1
[  215.073893] bna 0000:04:00.3: bar0 mapped to ffffc90002040000, len 262144
[  215.090644] bna 0000:04:00.3: initialization failed err=1

Whereas if bna is loaded first, bfa fails with

[  249.592109] QLogic BR-series BFA FC/FCOE SCSI driver - version: 3.2.25.0
[  249.610738] bfa 0000:04:00.0: Running firmware version is incompatible with the driver version
[  249.833513] bfa 0000:04:00.0: bfa init failed
[  249.833919] scsi host6: QLogic BR-series FC/FCOE Adapter, hwpath: 0000:04:00.0 driver: 3.2.25.0
[  249.841446] bfa 0000:04:00.1: Running firmware version is incompatible with the driver version
[  250.045449] bfa 0000:04:00.1: bfa init failed
[  250.045962] scsi host7: QLogic BR-series FC/FCOE Adapter, hwpath: 0000:04:00.1 driver: 3.2.25.0

Increase bfa's requested firmware version. Also increase the driver version. I only tested that all of the devices probe without error.
