Users use the devlink flash interface to request a device driver program or
update the device flash chip. In some cases, a user (or script) may want to
verify that a given flash update command is supported without actually
committing to immediately updating the device. For example, a system
administrator may want to validate that a particular flash binary image
will be accepted by the device, or simply validate a command before finally
committing to it.
