Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Pertinant highlights from Myricom CHANGES file include:
- Make sure invalid external smbus activity cannot affect performance
- Fix to avoid a bug where the link could sometimes stay reported as
up on after unplugging the cable.
- For 8B NIC, make smbus connection passive at init to avoid
possible address conflicts
- Increase number of slices to 17 for multi-slice fw
- Fix a bug where packets dropped because of link_overflow could
be occasionally reported as bad_crc32
- Add selectable failover strategy for dual-port chip: symmetric or primary/backup
- On failover, send RARP broadcast to make the change immediately
known to the network
- Change endianess for PCI Device Serial Number
- For dual-port NICs, time to failover is now a few microsecs
instead of a few millisecs.

- Support for 10G-PCIE*-8B*-C (dual-port CX4) NICs
- For dual-port NICs, f/w failover is now a few microsecs
instead of a few millisecs.
- On failover, f/w sends RARP broadcast to make the change
immediately known to the network
- Fixed a bug observed on IBM X3 architecture where
some spurious ecrc errors would be reported when OS enabled
ecrc support.

- Update to firmware 1.4.39 for dual-chip NIC (10G-PCIE2-xxx)
support, and SFP+ i2c support
- Identify newer "B" NICs (10G-PCIEx-8B-x) correctly, rather than
mis-identifying them as "A" NICs (cosmetic only)
- Identify the IFM_10G_LRM ifmedia type, where applicable.
- Identify ifmedia types for SFP+ based NICs
- Update copyright

This update fixes a transmit bug in the multi-queue (MSI-X) firmware
which happens when RDMAs complete out of order, and provides
improved support for the new Myri10GE NIC models (10G-PCIE-8Bx)

- Support for Myricom 10G-PCIE-8B NICs
- multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or
64-bit DMA addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across
slices.
- Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e

queues (which we call slices). The NIC will steer traffic into up to
hw.mxge.max_slices different receive rings based on a configurable
hash type (hw.mxge.rss_hash_type).
Currently the driver defaults to using a single slice, so the default
behavior is unchanged. Also, transmit from non-zero slices is
disabled currently.
