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, Rahul
