bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.21.0

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

[Impact]

 * There is new version of bnx2x firmware

 * oem-5.14 and hwe-5.15 kernels use that one; and when not found fallback to previous version of firmware.

[Test Plan]

 * sudo apt install initramfs-tools
 * echo bnx2x | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
 * sudo apt install linux-oem-20.04 linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge

With current linux-firmware the above results in:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-22-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.21.0.fw for module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-7.13.21.0.fw for module bnx2x
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-7.13.21.0.fw for module bnx2x

with updated linux-firmware no lines of "Possible missing firmware" should appear.

[Where problems could occur]

 * v21 firmware version is backwards compatible with v15 firmware previously used, but includes bugfixes. It may result in different NIC behavior.

[Other Info]

 * The v21 firmware is already present in Jammy
 * The kernels that use v21 firmware are not going to be shipped in Impish
 * The kernels that use v21 firmware will be available/used in Focal

Upstream changelog for the blobs:

New firmware v7.13.21.0 along with below fixes/enhancements (which
were also part of 7.13.20.0) maintains backward compatibility as well,
so that driver can be worked with both the new firmware and an older
firmware.

- Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for
  invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF start
- BRB parity error detection support for the driver
- Fix the FCOE underrun flow
- Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver
