v2 survivability breadcrumbs introduces a new mode called SPI Flash Descriptor Override mode (FDO). This is enabled by PCODE when MEI itself fails and firmware cannot be updated via MEI using igsc. This mode provides the ability to update the firmware directly via SPI driver. Xe KMD initializes the nvm aux driver if FDO mode is enabled. Userspace should check FDO mode entry in survivability info sysfs before using the SPI driver to update firmware. /sys/bus/pci/devices/<device>/survivability_info/fdo_mode v2 also supports survivability mode for critical boot errors.

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 reStructuredText 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.
