Driver supports 2 types of core dumps.
1. Live dump - Firmware dump when system is up and running.
2. Crash dump - Dump which is collected during firmware crash
that can be retrieved after recovery.
Crash dump is currently supported only on specific 58800 chips
which can be retrieved using OP-TEE API only, as firmware cannot
access this region directly.
User needs to set the dump flag using following command before
initiating the dump collection:
$ ethtool -W|--set-dump eth0 N
Where N is "0" for live dump and "1" for crash dump
Command to collect the dump after setting the flag:
$ ethtool -w eth0 data Filename
v3: Modify set_dump to support even when CONFIG_TEE_BNXT_FW=n.
Also change log message to netdev_info().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
