[PATCH net] ionic: Prevent driver/fw getting out of sync on devcmd(s)

From: Shannon Nelson
Date: Mon Jun 09 2025 - 17:29:02 EST


From: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@xxxxxxx>

Some stress/negative firmware testing around devcmd(s) returning
EAGAIN found that the done bit could get out of sync in the
firmware when it wasn't cleared in a retry case.

While here, change the type of the local done variable to a bool
to match the return type from ionic_dev_cmd_done().

Fixes: ec8ee714736e ("ionic: stretch heartbeat detection")
