Commit 0050dcf3e848 ("bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.20.0") added a new .bin firmware file to linux-firmware.git tree. This new firmware addresses few important issues and enhancements as mentioned below -

• 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 hardware block parity error detection support for the driver
• Fix the FCOE underrun flow
• Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver

This patch incorporates this new firmware 7.13.20.0 in bnx2x driver.
