From: Shalom Toledo <shal...@mellanox.com>
Many drivers checking the device's firmware version during the
initialization flow and flashing a compatible version if the current
version is not.
fw_version_check gives the ability to skip this check which allows to run
the device with a different firmware version than required by the driver
for testing and/or debugging purposes.
