Load firmware version based on 'fw_load_policy' devlink parameter. The
driver supports these two options:
* DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_DRIVER (0)
Default, load firmware version preferred by the driver
* DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_FLASH (1)
Load firmware currently stored in flash
The second option, 'flash', allow the device to run with different firmware
version than preferred by the driver for testing and/or debugging purposes.
For example, testing a firmware bug fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
