** Description changed:

  SRU Justification:
  
  [Impact]
  
  The mlxbf-gige driver has just been upstreamed so linux-bluefield needs to be 
synced up with what we have upstreamed.
- IMPORTANT: during testing phase, make sure the latest UEFI (bootloader) is 
loaded on top of these changes.
+ IMPORTANT: during testing, make sure the latest UEFI (bootloader) is loaded 
on top of these changes, otherwise both the gpio driver and mlxbf-gige driver 
will fail to load.
  
  [Fix]
  
- * Cleaned up the gige driver as instructed by maintainers
- * removed dependency between the mlxbf-gige driver and gpio-mlxbf2 driver
- * updated the UEFI ACPI table to reflect the above changes
+ * reverted 20 commits related to the mlxbf-gige driver and 1 commit related 
to gpio-mlxbf2 driver since there are dependencies between them.
+ * Cherry-picked f92e1869d74e1acc6551256eb084a1c14a054e19 from net-next 
branch. The upstreamed version of the GPIO driver removed the dependency 
between the mlxbf-gige driver and gpio-mlxbf2 driver.
+ * added code that was left out of the upstreamed version. and added code that 
got reverted in gpio-mlxbf2.c
+ * updated the UEFI ACPI table to reflect the above changes (so the bootloader 
and the linux drivers need to be in sync)
  
  [Test Case]
  
  * oob_net0 coming up after several SW_RESET or reboot
  * oob_net0 coming up after several powercycles
  * oob_net0 coming up after pushing a new Ubuntu/CentOS/Yocto
  * rmmod/modprove mlxbf_gige several times
  * OOB PXE boot multiple times from UEFI menu
  * automate OOB PXE boot and do reboot
  * automate OOB PXE boot and do powercycle
  * Test that GPIO7 reset still works on BlueSphere like boards
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
- Any of the test cases above could be impacted due to these new changes.
