BNX2 MIPS06 firmware in tree is 6.2.1, driver wants 6.2.3

Good morning,

As of mainline commit c2c20ef43d00b1439631e603f8dcee9a803cd8b3 in
December 2011, the BNX2 driver requests bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw;
however the firmware/bnx2 directory in the kernel sources only
contains bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw so the call fails.

The network interfaces will not come up at all, making it necessary to
steal & rename 6.2.1 firmware to get the interfaces up, and then
install a linux-firmware tarball. Before this commit, the bnx2 driver
as compiled was self-sufficient.

Would it be possible to get back to this situation by updating the
relevant firmware/bnx2 files in the kernel sources please? I noticed
this problem in an upgrade from 3.2.11 to 3.4.2, but I verified it is
still an issue in mainline today.

Regards,
