- Fixed a bug to not allow BaseR fec in 100G speed.
- Fixed linkup issues on BT adapter in 1G and 100M speed.

  with rx disable and then later rx enable).
- Fixed rate limiting not working on class number 16 to 30.

ETH:
- Fixed a case when firmware failed to deliver NIC WR completion to host.
- No rate limit support for WR ETH_TX_PKTS2 due to performance reasons.

  is more than the window size.
- Added fw_filter_vnic_mode to firmware API file (t4fw_interface.h)

  was causing out of order completion to host.

- Fixed a crash during lun reset.


Enhancements
------------
