To enable easier FW distribution NFP can now automatically select between FW stored on the flash and loaded from the kernel. If FW loading policy is set to auto it will compare the versions of FW from the host and from the flash and load the newer one. If FW type doesn't match (e.g. one advanced application vs another) the FW from the host takes precedence, unless one of them is the basic NIC firmware, in which case the non-basic-NIC FW is selected. This automatic selection mechanism requires we inform user what the verdict was. Print a message to the logs explaining the decision and the reason.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
