be2net: avoid flashing SH-B0 UFI image on SH-P2 chip
Skyhawk-B0 FW UFI is not compatible to flash on Skyhawk-P2 ASIC.
But, Skyhawk-P2 FW UFI is compatible with both B0 and P2 chips.

be2net: refactor code that checks flash file compatibility
This patch re-factors the code that checks for flash file compatibility
with
the chip type, for better readability, as follows:
- be_get_ufi_type() returns the UFI type from the flash file
- be_check_ufi_compatibility() checks if the UFI type is compatible
with the adapter/chip that is being flashed

Title:
Don’t allow Skyhawk P1 firmware to be downloaded to Skyhawk P2 cards
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Sureshkumar Reddy Reddygari (~suresh-reddy) writes:
Skyhawk P1 firmware can be downloaded to Skyhawk P2 cards. Skyhawk-P1
FW UFI is not compatible to flash on Skyhawk-P2 ASIC. These patches
will avoid flashing P1 firmware on P2 card.
We have a number of OEMs rolling on Skyhawk P2 ASIC support for their
adapters over the next 6-12 months. We need to ensure this fix gets in
in order to prevent Skyhawk B0 ASIC images being inadvertently
downloaded to the P2 ASICs.
If a B0 image is downloaded to a P2 ASIC, it will boot and run but the
functionality will not operate correctly.
All of the traditional Tier 1 Server vendors are rolling out the P2
ASIC in the coming year and are in qual now. Please consider including
this change as an exception into 14.04 Stable release update and
14.04.3 once that git tree is available.
