Title:
  nfp: request backport of ethtool flashing

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  
  Backport recently upstreamed changes to the nfp driver to allow flash updates 
to be written to Netronome SmartNICs using ethtool.

  f.e.
  # ethtool -f netdev_name flash-nic.bin

  This feature is not currently present in the Bionic kernel and the above 
command results in the following error:
  Error return + "Flashing failed: Operation not supported\n"

  This feature is implemented by the following upstream commits.

  7a7415659144 ("nfp: implement firmware flashing")
  87a23801e502 ("nfp: extend NSP infrastructure for configurable timeouts")
