    sfc: support X4 devlink flash

    Unlike X2 and EF100, we do not attempt to parse the firmware file to
     find an image within it; we simply hand the entire file to the MC,
     which is responsible for understanding any container formats we might
     use and validating that the firmware file is applicable to this NIC.
