New mlx5 adapters allow the driver to reset the FW in the event of an error, this action called "SW Reset". When an SW reset is issued on any PF all PFs enter reset state which is a recoverable condition. The existing recovery flow was designed to allow the recovery of a VF after a PF driver reload. This patch adds the sw reset to the NIC states as a preparation for sw reset handling. When a software reset is issued the following occurs: 1. The NIC interface mode is set to 7 while the reset is in progress. 2. Once the reset completes the NIC interface mode is set to 1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
