When L4 performance FPGA firmware is used on B2250 blade, occasionally some internal higig interfaces among 4.1~4.4 may not come up after system reboot.
Performance will be degraded as each downed 4.x link will reduce system throughput by 40G.
L4 performance FPGA firmware is selected and loaded on B2250 blade.
Most of the time run "bigstart restart bcm56xxd" will fix the higig link issue.
In this release the following device warning messages will be logged to /var/log/ltm to remind you to take a look at 4.x interface status: 1. Device warning: HSBe2 XLMAC initial recovery failed after 11 retries. 2. Device warning: HSBe2 higig mac[2] shows hgm_xgmii_errs: 1.
