Since yesterday afternoon, I have worked with Qlogic developer and sent him several debug logs. After looking at the debug logs, Gary needs to take hardware grcdump for the issue. At the same time, I helped him convert his P8 to OPAL mode. Hope he can re-create the issue in his lab.

Siraj, I gave your email address to Gary(Qlogic developer). If Gary
needs to take grcdump on your system next Monday, he will contact you
next Monday, Medha from hardware team can help you to take grcdump on
your system.

I am going to send you a note how to load the bnx2x debug driver on your
system if Gary needs to take grcdump.

Thanks,
Wendy

  ---Additional Hardware Info---

  I can get the interface up on petitboot and on a 3.10 kernel used for PowerKVM installer. I can't do it for Ubuntu 14.04 kernel, based on 3.13. I can reproduce the same thing with a 3.13 kernel on another PowerNV system.

  However, it works on a PCI passthrough environment on PowerKVM, with
  both 14.04 kernel and 14.10. So, this is specific to PowerNV. I will
  try upstream kernel versions and see if it's possible to find a
  culprit.

  I collected this with msglevel options on the driver. The driver
  specific option SP, timer, interrupt, link, ifup, and probe.

  Cascardo.

  I couldn't find Thadeu's kernel. I built the newer kernel + bnx2x
  driver from upstream, still saw the same failure. I will look into
  more.
