Correct. Fixes line was not added intentionally. It's not fixing
any bug with previous code, but rather adding decode logic to detect
the Chelsio NICs with new flash parts. Without this patch, CXGBE PMD
fails to initialize on these new Chelsio NICs with new flash parts.
This fix needs to be backported to allow CXGBE PMD in stable releases
also to detect and initialize on these new Chelsio NICs.

Thanks,
