Use atomic_notifier_chain to fire firmware events at internal mlx5 core components such as eswitch/fpga/clock/FW tracer/etc.., this is to avoid explicit calls from low level mlx5_core to upper components and to simplify the mlx5_core API for future developments. Simply provide register/unregister notifiers API and call the notifier chain on firmware async events. Example: to subscribe to a FW event: struct mlx5_nb port_event; MLX5_NB_INIT(&port_event, port_event_handler, PORT_CHANGE); mlx5_eq_notifier_register(mdev, &port_event); where: - port_event_handler is the notifier block callback. - PORT_EVENT is the suffix of MLX5_EVENT_TYPE_PORT_CHANGE. The above will guarantee that port_event_handler will receive all FW events of the type MLX5_EVENT_TYPE_PORT_CHANGE. To receive all FW/HW events one can subscribe to MLX5_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_ANY. The next few patches will start moving all mlx5 core components to use this new API and cleanup mlx5_eq_async_int misx handler from component explicit calls and specific logic.
