Just to confirm - this is not:

   * - ``board.serial_number``
     - Board serial number of the device.

       This is usually the serial number of the board, often available in
       PCI *Vital Product Data*.
I'm not sure on difference between board. or just serial_number, but lspci
shows this ID as a part of vital product data.

Considering this you are right, its better to change to "board.serial_number".

Running FW (or fastpath FW) is an embedded microprogram implementing
all the packet processing, offloads, etc. This FW is being loaded
on each start by the driver from FW binary blob.
Sounds like you should use:

fw.app - Data path microcode controlling high-speed packet processing.
Thanks, agreed.

Jakub, David, I'll prepare v6. Should I postpone posting v6 until the next
cycle then?

Regards,
  Igor
