This patchset improves firmware flashing in 2 ways:
- If firmware returns NO_SPACE error during flashing, the driver will
create the UPDATE directory with more staging area and retry.
- Instead of allocating a big DMA buffer for the entire contents of
the firmware package size, fallback to a smaller buffer to DMA the
contents in multiple DMA operations.

packages.

bnxt_en: Restructure bnxt_flash_package_from_fw_obj() to execute in a
loop.
