Hi Rahul,

Can you please document the FW config file in the driver documentation?
Please add:
- Path of the config file
- Content of the config file. As far as I can see from the code the 
config file directly sent to the FW, does this mean config file is binary?
- What happens when config file is not found

Also are these values overlap with the devargs that PMD has? If so what 
happens in that case, which one is used, devargs one or config file one?

Previously there was 'cxgbtool' tool to send the config file, is this 
method replacing it? Why not keep using 'cxgbtool'?

Thanks,
ferruh
