From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@broadcom.com> The devlink stack has sanity checks and it invokes flash_update() only if it is supported by the driver. The VF driver does not advertise the support for flash_update in struct devlink_ops. This makes if condition inside bnxt_dl_flash_update() redundant.
