> For ixgbe, i40e and ice drivers, the driver passes the driver version to
> the firmware to confirm that we are up and running.  So we now pass the
> value of UTS_RELEASE to the firmware.  This adminq call is required per
> the HAS document.  The Device then sends an indication to the BMC that the
> PF driver is present. This is done using Host NC Driver Status Indication
> in NC-SI Get Link command or via the Host Network Controller Driver Status
> Change AEN.
> 
> What the BMC may do with this information is implementation-dependent, but
> this is a standard NC-SI 1.1 command we honor per the HAS.
