[openib-general] FW: Mstflint - not working on ppc64 andwhendriver is not loaded on AMD

[Moshe Kazir]

I prefer the "mstflint -d 0c:00.0 q " format 

As in enables the writing of script that extract lscpi info  and getting
results  ->

# mstflint -d `lspci | grep Mellanox |grep -v Bridge | cut -f1 -d" "` q

The format "mstflint -d mtch0 " is good but no sufficient .  

When the HCA is old/wrong/damaged insmod may fail. In this case we'll
need mstflint to fix problems. 
Me must have a way to operate mstflint when driver is not loaded.

On PPC64 sles10 with Franks last fix 
 # ./mstflint -d /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0  q
*** ERROR *** Can not open
/sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0: Invalid argument
*** ERROR *** Can not get flash type using device
/sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0
 #

On PPC64 with OFED-1.1 rc6 original sources 

 # ./mstflint -d /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0  q
*** ERROR *** Can not open
/sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0: Invalid argument
*** ERROR *** Can not get flash type using device
/sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0

I consider the classic way to be
-d /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/device/resource0

It does seem a bit verbse now that you mention this - would
a shortcut to allow just -d mthca0 help a lot?
