The stable kernels from 4.9 to current only support a number of
sub versions of the 7.13.x.y firmware versions, in the unlikely
scenario of a user needing an older rev they can be easily
ontained via old releases. The 4.x stable kernels depend on the
7.13.1 (as does the el7 kernel), 5.4 depends on 7.13.11, and
the 5.10 and later kernels all depend on 7.13.15/7.13.21. Let's
cleanup the quite sizable unused versions.

This patch removes the older firmware version (7.13.20.0) files
pushed earlier as kernel driver patches which were supposed to
utilize that firmware were not approved by the community because
of the driver or firmware not being backward compatible with older
firmware version, so there is no any real consumer of firmware
v7.13.20.0 files.
New firmware v7.13.21.0 along with below fixes/enhancements (which
were also part of 7.13.20.0) maintains backward compatibility as well,
so that driver can be worked with both the new firmware and an older
firmware.
- Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for
invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF start
- BRB parity error detection support for the driver
- Fix the FCOE underrun flow
- Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver

This patch adds new FW for bnx2x, which addresses the following issues:
- TCP packet with padding can open TPA aggregation in GRO mode.
- Tx Silent Drops could cause HW error when statistics is not enabled for client.
- Transmission of tunneled packets over tx-only clients (with cos>0 in this case) followed by load/unload with DCB update (for instance), resulted in a Tx path halt.
- FORWARD_SETUP ramrod yielded a FW assert (x_eth_fp_hsi_ver_invalid).
The FW also adds support for direct update of RSS indirection table entry.

The new FW will allow us to utilize some new features in our driver,
mainly adding vlan stripping offload and vxlan offload support.
In addition, this fixes several issues:
- Packets from a VF with pvid configured which were sent with a
different vlan were transmitted instead of being discarded.
- FCoE traffic might not recover after a failue while there's traffic
to another function.

Hi,
This firmware includes many fixes such as:
- (L2) In some multi-function configurations, inter-PF and inter-VF
Tx switching is incorrectly enabled.
- (L2) Wrong assert code in FLR final cleanup in case it is sent not
after FLR.
- (L2) Chip may stall in very rare cases under heavy traffic with FW GRO
enabled.
- (L2) VF malicious notification error fixes.
- (L2) Default gre tunnel to IPGRE which allows proper RSS for IPGRE packets,
L2GRE traffic will reach single queue.
- (FCoE) Fix data being placed in wrong buffer when corrupt FCoE frame is
received.
- (FCoE) Burst of FIP packets with destination MAC of ALL-FCF_MACs
causes FCoE traffic to stop.

This new firmware fixes several bugs:
1. HW attention appears and traffic stops when iSCSI firmware tries to
retransmit iSCSI login command when the iSCSI login is carrying data
not aligned to 4-bytes.
2. FCoE traffic fails to run when running in switch-independent multi-function
mode and there's more than one interface supporting FCoE on a given port.
3. While two ports are running FCoE with at least one of them has a function
number (>1) on the same engine in a 4-port device a zeroed CQE is given,
causing FCoE traffic to stop.

This new firmware fixes several minor bugs:
1. In switch dependent mode, DCB priority was used to override inner vlan
priority.
2. In switch dependent mode, inner vlan was added in case of DCB priority
even if outer vlan was present.
3. In switch dependent mode, outer vlan was overridden by DCB priority when
working in STATIC COS mode while inner vlan was present.
4. iSCSI - under heavy iSCSI traffic, when TCP out-of-order condition
occurred, it was possible for the connection to close and recover.
5. iSCSI - connections on-chip TCP establishment might have failed.
6. iSCSI - out-of-order isles might have caused on-chip TCP connections
to fail in their graceful termination.
7. iSCSI - there was a theoretical race in which an RST packet sent from
pure-ack queue in specific timing could cause a credit-return overflow.
8. iSCSI - not all packets were completed on a forward channel.
9. DCB - fixed for 4-port devices; Until now, wrong credit counters were
used, causing dcb to fail.
10. Fixed false parity reported in CAM memories when operating near -5% on
the 1.0V core supply.
11. ETS default settings are set to fairness between traffic classes (rather
than strict priority), and uses the same chip receive buffer configuration
for both PFC and pause.

This new FW adds support in AFEX mode (multifunction using vntag
header).
It also fixes following issues:
1. Theoretical bug in GRO acceleration (only if the GRO Segment Length
is a multiple of the SGE Size). This will allow removing the
workaround from the driver.
2. When a TPA aggregation is open and a packet is accepted with
timestamp OOO, the new packet begins a new aggregation instead of
being indicated separately.

This new FW adds the ability to aggregate packets for GRO (and not just LRO) and
also fixes some bugs. Please consider adding it to the FW tree:
1. Added new aggregation mode: GRO. In this mode packets are aggregated such
that the original packets can be reconstructed by the O/S.
2. 57712 HW bug workaround - initialized all CAM TM registers to 0x32.
3. Adding the FCoE statistics structures to the BNX2X HSI.
4. Wrong configuration of TX HW input buffer size may cause theoretical
performance effect. Performed configuration fix.
5. FCOE - Arrival of packets beyond task IO size can lead to crash.
Fix firmware data-in flow.
6. iSCSI - In rare cases of on-chip termination the graceful termination timer
hangs, and the termination doesn't complete. Firmware fix to MSL timer
tolerance.
7. iSCSI - Chip hangs when target sends FIN out-of-order or with isles open at
the initiator side. Firmware implementation corrected to drop FIN received
out-of-order or with isles still open.
8. iSCSI - Chip hangs when in case of retransmission not aligned to 4-bytes from
the beginning of iSCSI PDU. Firmware implementation corrected to support
arbitrary aligned retransmissions.
9. iSCSI - Arrival of target-initiated NOP-IN during intense ISCSI traffic might
lead to crash. Firmware fix to relevant flow.
