The patch adds driver interface for reading the config attributes from user provided buffer, and updates these values on nvm config flash partition. This is basically an expansion of our existing ethtool -f implementation. The management FW has exposed an additional method of configuring some of the nvram options, and this makes use of that. This implementation will come into use when newer FW files which contain configuration directives employing this API will be provided to ethtool -f.

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.
