We found CentOS-7, Fedora 24, RHEL 7.x as well as latest SLES 12.x have thi= s firmware. In our PMD documentation, we mention that if the firmware image= is not available in any distro, user is suggested to download it from qlog= ic.com website. Note that mere loadable firmware image is insufficient testing for updating= to new firmware image. It needs to be backed by full functional testing (i= ncluding SRIOV VF). We think, functional testing with updated firmware woul= d require PMD changes. Currently, we don't have any plans to change the PMD= for FW update.
